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.

What males ATL better than waydroid?

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.
