I agree with electron apps and Anbox being slow to the point of being unusable.

Anbox being slow is not a big surprise though: it literally runs a complete Android system on top of your OS.

We need native, lightweight apps for the phone and that requires a big amount of work for sure.

There's an Android port for the PinePhone that I want to try one of these days. Back to an OS whose roadmap depends on Google, but at least without the proprietary blobs. But I don't plan to settle on it. As someone said elsewhere in this thread, it's less and less hackable, and I hope that GNU/Linux-based OSes work out.
