It was a big mistake by Google to base the Android Framework entirely on Java. Pivoting to Kotlin because you've discovered that working in Java produces nothing but garbage does nothing to fix the situation either.
Can't wait for generic Linux phones to be a (more popular) thing so we won't have to deal with this clown world nonsense anymore.
Do you really think generic Linux phones will ever be a thing? The people go where the apps are and there's no reason for the most popular apps to make generic Linux apps. Just the idea of mobile Flatpaks makes me nauseous.
I run android apps on my desktop linux with Waydroid. Maybe linux phones could also get android apps through waydroid?
I have Waydroid set up on my postmarketOS OnePlus 6T mainly so I can use the Discord app. Waydroid still needs some integration issues worked out (access to location, access to Bluetooth, access to calls/texts, ability to forward notifications to the Linux side) but otherwise it runs quite well. Performance feels pretty similar to native. I also have a OnePlus 6 running stock OS for my main phone tasks as pmOS doesn't have VoLTE support for the 6T so is kinda useless as a phone right now.
