An ode to Flatpak (and Fedora Silverblue)
Yes, I know of it. I currently use it from AUR. I use CrossOver specifically and only for Office 365 (that and support Wine development). I saw that Bottles does have a winecx build in their list of runners, but I haven't seen an Installer for Office yet, so while in theory I could use Bottles, I'm currently sticking with CrossOver for this specific usecase.

Linux is a life changer
Or just give up and run Office 365 via CrossOver. There's apparently a way to get it working with PoL for free, but with my distro-hopping ways and the fact that I need to do it for work (instead of for fun) I have no patience for that. Plus, it feels good to donate for Wine/Proton development anyways and even better if I have an actual use for it.

What's your opinion on Linux for school use?
For Office, the option currently is either use CrossOver (which is paid, though it can be cheaper with discounts) to install Office or to use a fairly lengthy process to follow the process CrossOver does manually. While I'm currently pinning my hope on Bottles Installer, for now WPS Office mostly works fine as long as you don't work with macros.

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.
