  • waydroid

    Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

    Waydroid runs Android apps on Linux and some people claim have gotten it to work on WSL.

  • waydroid_script

    Discontinued Python Script to add OpenGapps, Magisk, libhoudini translation library and libndk translation library to waydroid !

    • > It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86

    You can run ARM apps as well using libhoudini. Checkout: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

    > I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft

    Waydroid won't work on WSL2 as the kernel provided by MS doesn't have binder driver.
