Anbox allows you to run Android apps on any GNU/Linux OS

Anbox allows you to run Android applications on any GNU/Linux operating system without dual booting, virtual machines, or remote desktops.

Thanks to the widespread proliferation of Google's Android, developers have flocked to the platform, creating millions of applications for it. Although Android is based on the Linux kernel much like desktop GNU/Linux operating systems, the desktop OSes have not attracted similar amounts of development efforts. That's not to say that GNU/Linux operating systems are failures (I run Ubuntu 16.04 on my own machine), but sometimes there are apps available for one platform that you wish you could quickly access on another. By quickly I mean without setting up a virtual machine, dual boot setup via the Android-x86 project, or using one of those remote desktop solutions. Thankfully, Anbox is here to solve that.
