Hmm, interesting project from a technical perspective for sure, but I am not exactly sure why anyone would use it for anything other than testing some Linux distribution.
I mean unlike Waydroid, which helps to run "that one Android app" you need on a mobile Linux device, there isn't really "that one Linux app" you need to run on an Android phone.
Maybe attaching a phone to monitor to use it as a GNU/Linux computer? Modern smartphones are powerful.
Also I saw that many people use Termux to emulate some PC games, maybe with this tech it will be easier?
