Is Anbox no longer a thing? It runs Android apps in a container.

Or is it more the issue with the apps not running “natively”?

That rings a bell… could one use BlissOS or Android-x86 in a vm? I can’t remember. It’s another thing I’ve been meaning to look into.

Have tried to use Anbox, seriously painful to install and get working properly (Debian), and then equally annoying to install apps, and they’re still not really first class citizens like other Linux apps. The experience should be as easy as what Wine have achieved.

It is. Anbox is outdated and x11 based. Waydroid is great

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
