The exist but they kinda suck. Needs more demand.

Kind of like a field of dreams thing...

You need something viable for there to be demand.

There are options, but locking a person into an ecosystem is more profitable. Pinephone is a good option, but it won’t work in all countries.

Ultimately, someone needs to gut android for anything salvageable, shove it into Linux, and provide a compatibility layer for android apps.

But, mass support won’t be there. Like, TikTok won’t build an app for Linux. It needs mainstream apps to work.
