Hey there, I've been using Bluestacks as my main android emulator for a while, but I disliked how bloated it is, especially that their cloud service app comes preinstalled.
Im wondering if there are other android emulators that are good to use. I've already heard about emulators such as:
I haven't actually tried most of these myself yet since I don't quite trust them. They are quite sketchy and heavily advertised
Windows subsystem for android with magisk for root
For Linux there is waydroid which is inspired from the defunct anbox which I used in the past but it is wayland only
The ones in the thumbnail for the link look like they are from sketchy companies that sell your data
And also since when is Google play games an emulator
They've been advertising it recently. But for whatever reason, they are using Homescapes and Gardenscapes in their main brunt of advertising so idk why those two lightweight games.
They are slowly testing each game and how it works on Windows.
Play Store literally notifies me each time a new game is added.
I might reconsider redownloading WSA with magisk again considering yeah the well-known emulators I showed on the thumbnail are sketchy 💀.
Google play games launched a beta for several android games not that long ago on PC, though I do get mixed up with the service aswell
