Best bet is to pray someone experienced/a company starts working on something like Bluestacks and finally break the curse.

Linux users aren't as interested in Gaming and emulation as Windows users, which is why these Android emulators are only available on Windows, where most of the gaming audience is.īluestacks could probably make a Linux build but I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. So yeah, us Linux users got the short end of the stick and it mostly boils down to marketshare and market interests. You can experiment with battery levels, switch on GPS and even link your webcam to the Android device. Genymotion includes some useful extra tools to help you navigate all accessible down the right hand side of the screen. Heck, they even got Google on their side to have native Android emulation compatibility like Waydroid and Anbox. Pick a model with the Google Play Store installed and you can happily test drive Android without having to pay a penny. Funny though, because Windows, which is a not even *nix has a lot of great Android emulators for gaming and testing. Linux does not have any good android emulators even though the Android kernel itself is based on Linux. The last option is running Android x86 in a VM but that's not an ideal experience either. There's Android Studio AVD but it's for testing apps and won't work well with games. There's Genymotion but it's not for gaming and it can hardly handle normal apps. Anbox is just not usable at all and crashes way too often.

Wayland has waydroid but that is a bit buggy.

I tried so hard to find anything that would be close to Bluestacks or Nox but nope. There are no good android emulators on Linux.
