I'm just waiting for flawless Waydroid compatibility on Linux phones.

If I can run any Android app within Linux, I'm sold. basically wine and proton for Android apps that would be amazing.

It's not like Wine at all actually. Waydroid is Android in a container with some software to make it integrate somewhat. Wine is actually a Unix implementation of the Windows APIs. Android translation layer is more like Wine and I have higher hopes for it.

I'm aware, I'm saying if it gets to wine/proton levels of compatibility, it'd be hype

😍there are people working on a android translation layer? This is awesome! Now we only need a supply of phones with hardware that can be used with open source drivers and not having like specs from 5 to 10 years ago…

I mean, if I have linux phone, I want mainline kernel

Very nope, at least the last time I tried it about a year ago.
