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.

    No, the architecture still needs to match. If you android app supports x86, you’re good. Otherwise, you can technically emulate ARM64 and run it, but the performance will suck ass.

      Most Apps are just Java/Kotlin code, which is converted into your CPUs instruction set at runtine.

      So usually this will not be a problem. Unless you use some kind of hyperoptimised App, which should be rare.
