Windows 11 Android Subsystem

I am thinking about getting a windows 11 mini pc for my living room box and I'd like everything to have one massively unified interface akin to launchbox... actually I plan on using launchbox for this. I've had android apps running before but it was a pain in the but, however, with windows 11 including an android subsystem it should be as easy as launching any exe from launchbox. Does anyone have any experience with the windows 11 android subsytem?

Alternatively, does anyone know of the perfect browser for this? Something I can install strong ad blocking stuff on, that can be launched into full screen, has great controller integration, and can be exited with button combos like retroarch or anything else launchbox can shut off that way? 

I basically want to use platform categories in big box as my entertainment platform

Example Category flow (Thanks for adding nesting by the way!!)

Games
      Arcade
     Console
     Etc etc
Videos
     TV Shows
     Anime
     Cartoons
     Streaming
     etc etc
Library
     Books
     Comics
     Manga
     etc etc
Audio
   Live OTA
         iHeart etc
   Streaming
       Spotify etc
etc etc etc etc


The subsystem follows command prompts I think (I'm still researching) and android apps tend to work well with controllers thanks to the nvidia shield being so abundantly adopted so android apps would be idea (and let's be honest, look a lot better) but I don't want to buy a shield and be limited to just android. And I want everything in one go. I don't mind the obvious fact I could just use kodi but wellll um, like hyperspin, kodi beats me upside the head when I am setting it up at that level of intricacy. 

Any advice or recommendations are always super appreciated.



PS. This is why I keep requesting a "next button" on the metadata edit screen, like calibre has (for example)
