There are quite a few x86 Chromebooks, millions. If you have one it is kinda surprising just how many Android apps run on them. (Or is it all emulated?)

The not-jvm apps should just work. Apps using binary libraries may be AOT-translated by Google or be jitted on device. The tech was there about a decade ago specifically for Android (look up Houdini) but in general is as old as the hills.
