Apart of this, there are a lot of alternatives

Yes, it's possible to run different operating systems on mobile phones through virtualization and emulation, though with some limitations:
For Android phones:
- Ubuntu Touch can be installed directly on compatible Android devices like the Google Pixel 3a/3a XL and Fairphone 4[^1]
- Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Mobian, and Manjaro ARM can run on specific phone models[^11]
- Windows 10/11 can be virtualized using QEMU, though performance is very slow and not practical for daily use[^19]
For newer Android 13+ phones:
- Windows 11 ARM can run in a virtual machine thanks to improved virtualization support[^13]
- According to developer Danny Lin, who demonstrated Windows 11 running on a Pixel 6: "Windows 11 as a VM on Pixel 6" is possible through Android 13's standardized virtualization system[^13]
For running Android within Android:
- VMOS allows running a virtual Android environment inside your primary Android system, complete with Play Store access and root capabilities[^24]
The key limitations are:
- Device compatibility is restricted to specific phone models
- Performance may be significantly slower than native OS
- Not all hardware features and peripherals are supported
- Installation can be complex and may require technical knowledge
