Waydroid is container based layer and there is no translation layer so its so fast compared to the emulators.
Requries wayland supported desktop environment to run smoothly.
You can run any android app inside your pc using waydroid (aurora store: shown in the image)

#linux hacked onto a PS5 to turn Sony's console into a Steam Machine — GTA V Enhanced Edition runs at 60 FPS on 1440pwith ray tracing
- smooth gameplay
- supports 4k HDMI output and audio output
- Both CPU and GPU works normally and both can be boosted to a higher level
- All USB ports works perfectly
In a way, this is a tease of what the upcoming Steam Machine will be since it'll feature similar performance and run SteamOS, based on Linux.
