This is really interesting stuff, found it on Hacker News. It's like WINE, but for Android <-> Linux: https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/

I wonder how does it work? New pipe is originally a portarit application for Android.

It translates the Android API to Linux desktop-compatible calls, just like Wine does for Windows apps.

Newpipe works great on tablets too, a lot of Android apps have a landscape mode
