It is not uncommon for users to want to run a program targeted to one
operating system on another type of system. With the increasing prevalence of
smartphones, Android has become the world’s most widely used operating
system. So users may want to run Android apps on Linux systems in order
to get access to a game or other app that is not available in a
Linux version or to develop mobile apps on their desktop system.
The Waydroid project provides a way to run those
apps on Linux, which means they can run on a variety of devices, including
Linux-based smartphones like the PinePhone.
