I've used it before, along with similar "emulators" but what I was indeed looking for were for other native Android distros, one advantage being as they used to advertise it, that it was light enough for you to stick into an USB or a SSD then boot up your underpowered computer from it. I used Remix OS for my parents' computer as a no-frills alternative to a fully fledged Linux distro, and it actually worked pretty well for that.
