A known leaker and SteamVR data miner named Bradley Lynch reports that Valve is working on an Android emulator. Lynch has spotted five apps in a package on SteamDB, with two of them displaying new artwork that references Waydroid, an open-source and free Android emulator.
Regardless of what the website says, waydroid isn’t an emulator by any meaningful definition.
It’s a container that runs on top of your regular linux kernel (with some very cool desktop integration features), java/kotlin applications run as natively as they’d run on your phone.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn’t get terribly far with it.
