Pyloot on Linux
Clash of Clans bot on Linux
Pyloot runs on Ubuntu with Waydroid as Android. You install the .deb, the assistant prepares the rest and your village farms on your Ubuntu.
What works on Linux
It’s the same Pyloot as on Windows, with the same plans. Only the Android changes: instead of LDPlayer, Waydroid, which runs Android directly on Linux, with no virtual machine.
The app’s features are the same as on Windows. On Linux, what has been used for real is:
- Farming: searching for bases with your minimum gold, elixir and dark elixir, skipping the ones below it, and attacking with whatever army is in the bar.
- Walls with the surplus.
- Collecting mines, collectors and the loot cart.
- The live game view inside the app.
Just like on Windows, it never spends gems.
Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| System | Ubuntu 22.04 | Ubuntu 24.04 |
| Session | Wayland or Xorg | Wayland |
| Graphics | AMD or Intel | AMD Radeon or Intel |
| Processor | 4 cores | 6 cores or more |
| Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB |
Pyloot sees the game through the screen, so the Windows rules apply too: game in English and village with the default scenery. Enemy bases can have any scenery.
Another distribution similar to Ubuntu? Use the AppImage from the download page. Ubuntu is the tested path.
How to install
- Download and open Pyloot-linux.deb. If the browser asks which app to open it with, pick App Center.
- Click Install and type your password. Pyloot shows up in your apps menu.
- Open Pyloot. In Set up the emulator, click Fix it for me: it installs Waydroid with Android and asks for your password once.
- In the assistant, click Register with Google to register Android. Then sign in to your account in the Play Store and install Clash.
Your password is asked only once, in Fix it for me: that’s where Waydroid, Android with Google Play and the translation layer Clash needs to run on a PC get installed. The assistant does the rest by itself.
The only manual step is registering Waydroid’s Android with Google. The assistant copies the code and opens the right page for you.
Wayland or Xorg
Waydroid draws in a Wayland session, Ubuntu’s default. If you use Xorg (common with AnyDesk, TeamViewer or an older driver), Pyloot opens Android inside its own window, which the assistant installs. Both work; Wayland is the lighter one.
To see which one you are using, run this in a terminal:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPETo switch, log out and, on the login screen, click the gear and pick "Ubuntu" (Wayland) or "Ubuntu on Xorg".
On Wayland, the first time Ubuntu asks which window to share: pick the Waydroid one. That’s how Pyloot shows the game live inside the app.
Graphics card
Waydroid accelerates video through Linux’s standard path (Mesa), which AMD and Intel cards follow. That’s why they are recommended.
- AMD or Intel: works with acceleration, smooth.
- Laptop with Intel and NVIDIA: works with acceleration. Waydroid draws through the Intel chip.
- PC with only NVIDIA: not recommended yet. NVIDIA’s closed driver doesn’t follow that path, so Android is drawn by the CPU and runs very heavy.
