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.

      I don’t think it will. If it does you will need to jump through a ton of hoops to get it working. I remember when I tried to set It up on WSL i had to manually set up anbox binders, and start dbus up every time. Even after that there were errors preventing me from doing anything beyond downloading the image.

      i have no need, so i haven’t bothered with trying… but i have seen pages by people who have gotten it to run–with some extra work involved.

        Yes but you don’t need it. WSL2 comes with WSLg these days, and can draw to your Windows desktop without an external graphical server.
