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

3. waydroid_script

   2 32 196 6.1 Python

   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.
