At present Waydroid is a must. I mostly need it for Meshtastic/Meshcore stuff, Airam programmable light and socket stuff, Proton apps and Lemmy browser.
Ubuntu native software base is still quite poor.
You can run most linux terminal and desktop apps, but if you can't find them from the OpenStore(snap) and get them to work in the regular environments (missing dependencies or priviledges) and need to use libertine environment, they don't run in the background and desktop apps will need external keyboard, because onscreen keyboard usually doesn't work.
Thanks!
...and if your phone supports external display, you can use it as a linux laptop. Mine currently does not.
That sounds like a dream!
