I did something similar five years ago, but it wasn't dependable. I don't know what's changed now.

Android XS works on specific devices, mainly EEE PCs. It requires the appropriate drivers to function optimally.

This seems unfeasible, at least in practice. Refer to Distrowatch.

From the git sources, it looks like most hardware gets updates infrequently. The Eee PC details are outdated—about eight years, with only six years of Thinkpad support left. The last update was when support ended for the island-style keyboard, which was the main issue. ... https://git.osdn.net/view?a=project_list;pf=android-x86 Android x86 booted on my old Ideapad years ago, and I haven’t tried it since.

Android x86 functions, but lacks the speed boost that enhances your experience (particularly for gaming). For a different feel, consider other Linux distributions offering Android-style interfaces, or try alternatives like ChromeOS using ChromiumOS or GalliumOS.
