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

Once you've got wsl installed you only have to copy and paste a few commands to start running the run.sh script

You can install debian from the windows store if I recall correctly

though if you want to install it in a different location you'll need to install manually with commands or move the installed files of debian wsl to a new location and use mklink in command prompt to create a link of those files to the original location you moved them from (don't rename folders and make sure you move and link the top level folder containing the debian files)
