    Lineage gives you a decent app ecosystem (F-droid) with the option to set up Play Store for full Android compatibility

    Ubuntu Touch has a very limited ecosystem compared to F-droid, but might be enough for someone willing to do most tasks in a browser.

    Stuff like phone calls, pictures, sms, podcasts, music, and other simple tasks will work equally well on either OS assuming your device is supported

      Yeah interesting - I don’t know how many say flatpaks will work on arm. I guess you’re basically able to run most of what a raspberry pi can or whatever is in debian’s arm repos though.

      On lineage you can use auroura store too for a less googley halfway house.

      The article mentions waydroid - but it doesnt go into that much detail on it. I find waydroid to be very good on a decent linux pc - but does it work well enough on ubuntu touch. I’d not do anything heavy though like mobile games on waydroid - that’d seem wierd.

      Is there any benefit/cost though to effectively running your apps via a lineage v.m?

      I’d think if there is it might come down to some wierd security thing but probably at cost of startup time or performance, or maybe even power consumption.
