Yeah same, I don't use my phone for too much, I think with a little more progress I could potentially move over to it for the most part. I do hope android compatibility can be improved though, it would be the biggest barrier of entry down the line. Also I definitely agree with you on updates, it's frustrating that technology keeps improving and getting more efficient and the most of the popular proprietary software doesn't really evolve and gets less efficient.
What's that looking like? I'm aware of Anbox but IIRC that runs a full Android runtime and I've seen mixed reports of it working.
Personally I've been kicking around the idea of an API compatibility layer for Android, so an Android app could be built as a standard Java jar and run on top of OpenJDK. I'm not concerned with binary APK compatibility, but there are many apps on F-Droid that I would like to run on non-Android Linux, perhaps without the baggage of something like Anbox. I don't know what it would entail, if there is any interest, or if it's even possible though.

Yeah, having a decent Android compatibility layer would be amazing. Seems like there's some promising work being done on that front already.
