For all my needs of temporary android devices, I use a temporary VM instead. where I install android-x86. Now I am looking for alternatives to this distro. It is a bit slow to use and now dated. Still on android 9.

Any recommendation that are FLOSS? A guide how to install Lineage OS on QEmu or KVM is also a good alternative.

    The one that you can download through Android Studio worked really well for me when I was an android developer. It uses KVM, and I found the performance to be pretty decent compared to the same VM running on Windows.

    I’m not sure if it has all the features you need. Plus, their UI for installing it sucks. But they do have a supported way of choosing an x86 CPU and having Play Services installed.
