Can apps send your data if it hasnt got network permissions?
After a while you just say "dang it, will not allow this anymore" and take the high road. If you are using one device for all purposes but need those paid and proprietary apps installed, consider running them within a different profile. There is a good floss app for that called [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) because on vanilla android this feature might not be possible for your phone (on Pixel phones for example android offers to use Google Work Profile but you need a special account for that). Shelter can create a work profile on your phone, you can install programs within your different profile. This might help a bit :)

My school is forcing its students to download a proprietary 2FA app. This is ridiculous.
For Android you don't even need to change your OS. You can install Shelter and use it to isolate the app.

WhatsApp now works on four phones. Signal when?
There are Apps like Island, Shelter and Insular that allow you to (ab-)use these work profiles to provide sandboxed environments for specific apps, including the ability to have a separate instance of an app in each work profile sandbox.

Microsoft tests Windows account menu error badge when Microsoft Account not used
If you are on an android phone what supports shelter[1], I can recommend installing "social" apps inside the shelter, and just sleep the apps when you don't use them.
In regards to windows, it feels to me as morphing into a solution for large corporations if disregarding the tabloid news while leaving private users just waiting for a friendly OS to be presented for them.

Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
Android on the desktop works very well on Wayland with Waydroid and it even supports Google Play store. https://waydro.id/
Great running apps not available on Linux with a touchscreen PC. It only seems to run Android apps compiled for x86, but it is very fast.
There are practical use cases, and it is very usable. I haven’t tried it on WSL2, but it seems like a practical approach without reliance on Microsoft.

Sxmo: Linux tiling window manager for phones
There's a piece of software called Waydroid[1] that allows you to run Android applications on GNU/Linux platforms - including the PinePhone. Sxmo, despite its name, can run Wayland instead of X and therefore supports Waydroid.
Personally, I haven't managed to get Waydroid to work, a task hindered due to some massive initial downloads which are required to set it up. However, I haven't tried particular hard, and there are videos online by those more successful than me[2].

Can I view Waydroid on a different display on a VNC viewer?
I have setup an Arch linux server on my old pc. i mainly use it for plex, transmission, docker etc and it works pretty well! I wanted to install Waydroid https://waydro.id/ on that server. Is there a way that I can view waydroid using a VNC viewer on my laptop on the same network? is it possible or would I have to install a GUI like xfce before installing waydroid to view the same on tigervnc or some other VNC viewer? Thanks & regards.

Run Firefox on ChromeOS
> I run Fedora Linux after removing ChromeOS
Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM.
> (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps)
I would recommend using Waydroid[1]. It runs fairly well in my use case, and runs LineageOS on top of it with the full LineageOS GUI.
