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.

Yes. Waydroid is very nice. What do you use it for? I've come to the realization I don't really need a lot of Android apps on my laptop, I have good Linux software for 99.9% of the stuff I do. So Waydroid mostly sits there, unused, while I use a regular Linux messenger client and Google Maps on the website.

I use it exclusively to control my a/c's thermostats as an ios or android app is the only way to do it remotely.

I confess I haven't used it but I've been wanting to try and get my preferred RSS reader app (Feeder) on my computer - that's the only one that I want though
