thank you for writing this.

>Nobody bothered to create a native Linux layer that supported APKs and other quirks of the Android ecosystem.

well there are some solutions, but i don't think we need those. instead, i believe, we need real native linux apps. and they are getting better. dino works well both on small mobile screens and on big screens.

we won't bring much people from android if we support android apps well: those who use android also tend to use the apps that are not worth using, for example bank apps. and bank apps now don't even work when you have an unlocked bootloader.

or they think of using those bad big tech apps. to such people i would say: well then better stay on google's android, don't fool yourself that it is much better if you use instagram on lineageos. don't fool yourself by thinking lineageos with gapps is much better than stock android from some vendor.

it would be better that efforts to create those fdroid apps were instead spent on doing native linux apps. writing for android was a deadend and false hopes since the beginning.
