I ditched Android emulators for this open-source app, and I can't imagine ever going back

With Microsoft killing the only official way of running everyday Android apps on PC, I found an alternative that doesn't use emulation at all!

The open source project I stumbled upon that allows you to run Android apps on PC is Waydroid…it takes a container-based approach to running a full Android system directly on Linux

Alas given how it works it only works on Linux.
