Anbox fails to start

It looks like Andbox expects to find the DKMS modules and fails when it can't.

$ sudo systemctl status anbox-container-manager.service

Probably related upstream issue: https://github.com/anbox/anbox/issues/1488

Supposedly Arch has patches to work around the issue since their Wiki recommends running Anbox without the DKMS modules on kernel 5.7+: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Anbox
