Tezos development booms over Solana, Polkadot and Elrond
To be completely fair, they also did the same thing on the Tezos side by including 4083 commits from the tezos/opam-repository repo, since this is just a fork of of the official ocaml/opam-repository repo.

Ocaml running on a Sailfish X (GNU/Linux not Android) phone
I've managed to install opam (and OCaml) directly on an Xperia XA2 running Sailfish X using setarch (see also https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues/14804).

How to install OCaml in WSL?
According to this github comment you need to disable sandboxing by "using the --disable-sandboxing option for opam init in a fresh opam initialisation or via an opamrc. For an initialised opam, you can't use this option, but change the configuration directly in the config file by removing / empty wrap-*-command fields."

Some Pain Point of Linux From a Long-time Windows User
Regarding toolchain managers, those developing software with Rust would use rustup, OCaml developers would use opam, Haskell GHCup, and Python with pyenv. Likwise, Rust already uses cargo for package management, Python can use pip and venv, cabal for Haskell, and opam still for OCaml.

Does anyone have an ETA on opam 2.2? I'm trying to pitch OCaml for a project that should be starting in roughly a year, but the lack of support for opam on windows is making it a really tough sell.
The project has a planning board for 2.2 on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/projects/2 and there are many active PRs on the repo. I wouldn’t hazard an accurate ETA but it is being actively worked on right now.

We feel it is too "me-too", and not Ada-specific enough [...] It doesn't, to us, feel like a truly Ada-native solution. Tangentially, the use of the word "crates" for the unit of management does little to evoke the kind of principled self-confidence Ada normally exudes.

Frustrated by lacking cross platform support (hoping to be wrong)
That being said, the experience on Windows could definitely be better. The bright side is that the community is aware of this and is making progress on improving it. If you're curious, you can take a look at some of the Windows-related plans for opam 2.2 (pdf).

How to install OCaml in WSL?
This is caused by bubblewrap requiring specific permissions when running in Docker containers. Disabling sandbox does make you install OCaml, but there is a risk of installation scripts of packages wiping home directory https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/3231
