How to install Android Virtual Emulator on Ubuntu 20.04.3. Not Genymotion or virtualbox

I just wanted to download an Android Emulator that isn't Genymotion or related with virtualbox. With EMULATOR being the keyword here, I don't want to download it as an OS. I just want like an app. For example: LDplayer. LDplayer is used to play android games on PC (Windows) But I want an alternate to this software so I can play android games on Linux. Thanks in advance.

You can use Anbox.

Here is the full description of the debian package

Android in a box

Anbox is a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system.

In other words: Anbox will let you run Android on your Linux system without the slowness of virtualization.

Anbox uses Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc) to run a full Android system in a container and provide Android applications on any GNU/Linux-based platform.

The Android inside the container has no direct access to any hardware. All hardware access is going through the anbox daemon on the host. It reuses what Android implemented within the QEMU-based emulator for OpenGL ES accelerated rendering. The Android system inside the container uses different pipes to communicate with the host system and sends all hardware access commands through these.

Anbox can be installed through snap or apt.

Using snap: see Install the Anbox snap.

On Ubuntu versions prior to Focal, you need to install and load the kernel module before executing the snap command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support
sudo apt update
sudo apt install anbox-modules-dkms
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
sudo modprobe binder_linux

On Ubuntu Focal, Hirsute, Impish and Jammy, Anbox can be installed through apt:

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update
sudo apt install anbox

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
