TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile

I was searching for YouTube clients on my Plasma Bigscreen Linux TV Box, and found NewPipe, a popular Android YouTube frontend. Turns out this tool is how they moved it over.

Great solution alongside projects like Waydroid, as you can post individual apps to Flathub or other Linux storefronts, rather than needing to install a whole ROM to get your Android apps to appear in your Linux app tray.
