This is still not perfect and some things are available only for arm devices with touch screen, but it has lighting speed performance compared to emulators.
There is also closed source arm translation layer you can install to launch arm-only apps on x86_64 commuters but it's taken directly from windows implementation and not really the best solution + it does not fix absence of touch compatibility in such apps
It has malware, it's monitoring your system network.
unavailable on openSUSE, no install instructions
Its now fully graphically installable. It runs as a systemd service, so a bit unconventional, its always running. But it is just a container and not an Emulator, so that is no problem. Apps integrate into the Desktop really well, you can run any apps just like native ones!
Actually Waydroid was my reason to try Wayland and its really great!
supports a very small fraction of GPU's and performance is not par with other options
