Right now Android is a significantly better experience on touch screens like phones and tablets. And that would still hold for 2-in-1 laptops. Same for TVs and home consoles, better designed for remote/gamepad control.
Support is developing though and as we get more touch friendly and gamepad friendly linux, we get more PC friendly android, including non wall-gardened forks.
It unfortunately is. I’m currently using Linux on a mini PC with Pegasus Frontend and a remote to launch Jellyfin, VacuumTube, and games as a HTPC. It’s necessary to exit each app differently to get back to the launcher, and then if anything gets hung up, I have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Really looking forward to Plasma Bigscreen to deliver a UX more like Android TV.
Who wants Android on a PC? If anything, let’s get some better options for Linux on phones, tablets, and TVs.

Currently using plasma mobile on a 16 year old thin client and media PC, its working flawlessly

Yeah I can’t wait for it.
In the mean time, you could try Veshell which I think has potential as well
Thanks, will check it out!
