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.

    Doesn’t Waydroid require Wayland instead of XWindows?

    Because my Linux PC is also my gaming PC, which for historical reasons (used to be a Windows PC) has a NVidia card, and from what I’ve read Wayland is a lot more problematic with NVidia drivers than XWindows.

    Last time I went to install Waydroid I just stopped half way and reverted it because their website says it requires Wayland.

      Over the last year or so NVIDIA massively improved their Wayland support. May not be perfect, may not be as good as AMD, but it usually cones with lass drawbacks than the X11 experience.
