    What this brings to the table is not performance (Anbox isn’t slow), but a much newer Android base (some custom Android7 vs LinageOS based Android 10) and finally some hardware pass-through on Halium-9 based devices.

      One comment from here, maybe useful : https://teddit.net/r/linux/comments/orgn36/waydroid_lets_you_run_android_apps_on_linux/

      It’s actually under heavy developement now and ppl run it on Ubuntu Touch. It’s just for Halium 9 devices. I’m actually hunting some cheap Pixel or OnePlus 3+ to install this. Atm, running Ubuntu Touch as a daily driver on Sony Xperia X and it runs fine. Pretty much everything works, but videocalls are not. WayDroid will solve that and some other small issues and we will have decent MobileOS on Linux side.

      I only have brief experience with Anbox (and no Pinephone, yet?). Let us know how WayDroid performs!

    Could you use this on a desktop Linux to run android apps?

      Apparently yes, or at least they are working on that. But this already works with Anbox as well (subject to x86 compatibility of apps).
