So it's windows emulating linux emulating android emulating linux?

I'm interested to hear how that works out for you

The WSL part was just a joke, but I do sometimes test apps on waydroid as I am using an IPhone currently and I want to switch, so for that I try apps on waydroid so I can easily replace IOS exclusive apps when I make the switch.

I’m looking to do the exact same thing and been collecting FOSS apps as I go, but I’ve never heard of waydroid before Thank you!

You should go another level deeper, VirtualBox > Windows > WSL > Waydroid > Lindroid
