On that topic, are there any desktop-oriented Linux distros that support Android apps? Seems like that could fill some gaps in some places where a native Linux app sucks but an Android equivalent would be sufficient. (obviously in a few but perhaps not most cases)
Maybe emulation would be needed for most current machines and be really slow, but with more ARM laptops coming in the future it seems like something GNU/Linux would need to do to compete in that space.
It can be done via Anbox or WayDroid, but additional steps (e.g. via QEMU) are needed to run ARM-based apps on a typical x86 desktop, and performance might be a bit underwhelming.
