Anbox on Ubuntu Linux. https://anbox.io/
to install apps "adb install app_name.apk" the app needs to be compiled for x86 if you are running anbox on a PC
Anbox is a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow mobile applications and mobile games developed for Android to run on GNU/Linux distributions
Anbox puts the Android operating system into a container, abstracts hardware access and integrates core system services into a GNU/Linux system. Every Android application will be integrated with your operating system like any other native application.
To achieve our goal we use standard Linux technologies like containers (LXC) to separate the Android operating system from the host. Any Android version is suitable for this approach and we try to keep up with the latest available version from the Android Open Source Project.
Runs Android without hardware virtualization and seamlessly bridges over hardware acceleration features.
Anbox scales across different form factors similar like Android does. It works on a laptop and a mobile phone
