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.
> What's the best alternative?
Waydroid runs Android apps on Linux and some people claim have gotten it to work on WSL.

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].

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.

migration to wayland from x11? for waydroid
i am using KDE Neon (user edition) on two machines (thinkpad laptops with intel). On mentioned machines i would like to try and use waydroid: https://waydro.id/ Waydroid required wayland as display server (it will probably not work on x11).

Hi OP, could this be what you're describing?
You should open an issue on GitHub then.

LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
Is anyone here daily-driving microg and can share their experiences? https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status does not exactly inspire confidence.

No shit, of course they do.
>In general, we obviously try to minimize the connections to Google, but some services strictly rely on them and would just not work without.
What exactly do you think they should do instead?

[Help] Is there a module I can install that enables push notifications on a device without google services?
Yes, the Xposed module is one way. There are also other ways

Magic Earth: OSM based map and routing with croud sourced traffic data
Google Play Services implements a lot of increasingly vital features and interfaces on Android. Not having it kills a good number of things people consider important, like push notifications (some apps are designed to still send push notifications like Signal, but it's kind of a hack and does drain the battery). If you're looking for almost the same functionality without google play services, MicroG[1] is an open source implementation of Google Play Services and its' associated components. I don't think it works on GrapheneOS unfortunately, but GrapheneOS already sandboxes all the Google Play Services components, so you should be fine as is. "Normal"/stock Android roms aren't set up the same way however, so you pretty much need either Google Play Services or MicroG for push notifications, location services, etc.

Except /e/OS then throws that out the window because it installs and enables microG by default which immediately connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...

MicroG v0.2.28.231657 released (changelog)
I don't know, Marvin isn't always very communicative, but keep in mind that every additional feature means additional work and additional bugs, and Marvin doesn't see to have too much time on his hands to work on MicroG (although it's nice that he seems to have been getting some help lately). Your best bet to obtain what you ask for would be to open an issue for a feature request here; however, there is already a similar request here (so I wouldn't open another) and you can see how it's panning out.
