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.

For the past few months I've used Wayland with Bazzite and Nvidia, with no apparent issue. I might have issues or missing features I don't realize, and if there was a performance degradation it was small enough I didn't notice.

Tldr; YMMV, but works for me

    I'm on Pop!OS which comes with X11 by default, so I'm very wary of trying to change it to use Wayland as I don't wan't to risk breaking my gaming PC (followed by who knows how many days of mucking about with it to fix it) which is supposed to just be for coming home after work and relaxing.

    Is there another way of running Android apps on Linux?
