    Does emulating via waydroid not work for android games? I don’t really do android games so not sure how well waydroid performs for that type of stuff - but it seems okay for a few android apps i’ve tried.

      The last time I tried that getting google play services working was a long, annoying process and did not work. I don’t expect google to make any of that easy for us.

        fair point, i’m very used to just using f-droid, aurora, or sideloading apks from dubious places, for my phone and tablet, that i completely forget how much android stuff “needs” google services.

        I got netflix running without google play, i think installed from aurora store. It needed a script to install widevide DRM that seemed to work.

        But I can imagine things like games being more of a pain especially with online.

      That is a possibility. To be honest, I haven’t tried very hard yet. I’m currently working on spinning up a Win10 VM in KVM and I’ll see how that works. And Android emulator is another good idea, I’ll have to give that a go.
