what about the other way around? i'm aware about waydroid but it has too many problems with nvidia. also require wayland.
You could run a windows VM and run windows subsystem for android.

The latest Waydroid beta is over three years old. Waydroid is dead and I haven't found an alternative.
The latest stable release of Waydroid is from little over a month ago. The Android image it uses by default is based on Android 13, which is fresh enough to do its job.
I don't understand what this would be useful for. The Linux terminal app on Android (check Developer settings if you want it) already exists and it uses hardware accelerated virtualization, while this uses QEMU with TCG. The Linux terminal app also supports running a DE (No VNC - as in no VNC, not NoVNC - required!), has full shell, full root, all the features of Podroid, and hell, you could even swap out the termina…
Wow, didn't know this existed, thanks. But 761 Mo download?? That's insanely big for a terminal, what could possibly make this bundle so big?

I can't help you with nvidia, but the Wayland thing can be worked around quite easily by running it under a nested compositor like cage. (This is how I run waydroid under Xorg)

thanks. good to hear that. i just have to wait for nvidia support now.

This. Also, for phones that don't support Android virtualization, there's a user-space hack, part of Termux upstream, that allows for root-less chroots via LD_PRELOAD: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot . systemd won't boot with this (needs to be PID 1), but a lot of software will work just fine and there's nearly zero emulation overhead.
I don't think it uses LD_PRELOAD, it uses ptrace to intercept system calls (hence the name). Unfortunately this does have performance overhead, although I've never bothered to measure it. Actually that would be an interesting thing to benchmark.
Thanks for your correction!
