;Waydroid and Anbox
:These are hypervisor-based containers. They run an Android OS image inside a container. It is a similar approach to WSA and Google Play Games. They work completely differently from Wine/Proton [[compatibility layerlayers]], which translate API calls, without a hypervisor.
:Anbox is a project that aims to run Android applications on Ubuntu distributions. It is in alpha state and only known to work on Ubuntu 16.04. Anbox requires custom kernel modules to run because, unlike other emulators which emulate the whole Linux kernel, this one uses the host system's Linux kernel directly.
