I’ve been testing a handful of distros between my 6T and 3a as well, UBports, Droidian, Pmos, etc, lately I’ve been a little obsessed with wanting to try Sailfish OS, but it seems it’s not worth trying in the USA without X, I’m unsure if it’s even possible to purchase X here

No idea, but you could of course install Waydroid on Mobian. I hope Android Translation Layer (gitlab.com/android_translation_layer) will at some point get to a state where it is usable as the superior Waydroid alternative for many people.

Thanks for the tip, good looking out, the main need for X isn’t android for me but instead VOLTE

It is to Android apps what WINE is to Windows programs, while Waydroid is to Android apps what something between Docker and a VM would be to server software.

Actually, Waydroid is not too dissimilar from running, for example, an Ubuntu Desktop system in a Docker container on a Debian desktop system, just so you can use snap packages… Instead of installing snapd on Debian. (Not that I want snapd.)

Waydroid is more like an Android container appliance that runs a full Android system, while ATL, as the name Android Translation Layer suggests, translates functions and API calls, used by Android apps, into the appropriate methods of doing things on a regular GNU/Linux system (in contrast to an Android Runtime/Linux system), thereby being much more efficient, more comfortable to use and having the potential of integrating into the system really well.
