Distro + DE for SGo 1
If you want wo stick to GNOME (it still has the best touch experience of all desktop DEs in my experience) you could try the improved-osk-extension. It can make the OSK much bigger and has some other neat features. Another touch friendly DE is Phosh which is actually developed for Linux phones and completely optimized for Touch although it doesn't support everything you would expect from a desktop DE since it's mainly optimized for phones (and tablets). You could also try KDE Plasma Mobile but in my experience it wasn't reliable and has many bugs and crashed a lot.

What extensions would you most like to see for Gnome?
The newest 'Improved OSK' is made by NickShymrev and he's actively working on a Rewrite for GNOME 43 which will use the terminal mode of the keyboard to be more stable and will include the option to force the osk making the 'Force OSK' extension not needed. You can find the issue here: https://github.com/nick-shmyrev/improved-osk-gnome-ext/issues/30 and the 43 branch here: https://github.com/nick-shmyrev/improved-osk-gnome-ext/tree/gnome_43_rewrite

Any better on-screen keyboard?
Try the gnome 43 rewrite. It works, but there's no way to remove the text suggestions
- Thank you Ubuntu, very cool.

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.
