A lot of the ux and higher level HAL work is done, and the obstacles on android remain in the drivers and signed blobs.

Linux is great, but phosh, plasma and gnome mobile are pretty poor interface experiences at the moment.

I wonder if you can run Waydroid on mobile linux, it'd feel like an Android phone, but you'll have more control over it because it's actually just a container inside your OS, easily root etc...
