I've been thinking about Privacy/Security vs Productivity recently, Mainly because there has been delay with the security updates from my Android manufacturer and switching to LineageOS would fix that but would risk loosing access to Gmail, chat apps and payment apps due to issues with SafetyNet.

I thought I would backup and restore my current device accounts to the android in the Chromebook but alas Google doesn't seem to be allowing the 'Data Transfer Tool' to be opened in the Chromebook (Although it installs).

My current plan is to restore the account in a LineageOS+MicroG+Magisk(to enable SafetyNet) setup. Although I have little hope of this setup being stable, bringing the conversation of Privacy vs Productivity.

Perhaps there is a need gap for backing up our current android device as VM image and running it via QEMU?
