You mean...waydroid? It's literally a translation layer running on a container, AFAIK. Then you can add an additional ARM emulation plugin for specific apps that don't have x86 versions.
Oh I thought Waydroid was a VM. But still, it's a lot more recent than wine. So is it really fully compatible with most apps?
It's....kinda like a VM? But without the VM part. It runs in a container, AFAIK, so it's using a lot less resources than a full blown VM. It works for a lot of apps. And the ARM emulation plugin helps a lot, too. But then again, I usually stick to mostly FOSS apps, and refuse to install the gapps suite. So, no Play Store. I can still install apps via Aurora, but there's a problem there between Waydroid and Aurora, which leads to frequent crashes (of Aurora) when trying to install an app. But once the app is installed (you can download it by other means, and just install it into waydroid by running something like 'waydroid app install myfile.apk'.
