Linux-on-mobile folks: I hope you’re paying attention to the new Linux VM stuff in Android 15.
I genuinely think one of the most important approaches to building the Linux mobile ecosystem is to enable people to get (and fall in love with!) our app ecosystem on the phone *and OS* they already use.
It’s critical to build the whole experience (like we see with GNOME and PostmarketOS), but we need to meet people where they are, first.

The other direction is getting Android apps to run on Linux phones, which while interesting, seems backwards to me. It’s getting ahead of ourselves—let’s get these awesome modern adaptive apps that we’re building in the hands of more people and show them what an app ecosystem that respects you, your time, and your privacy looks like—then they’ll be clamoring to get the whole OS on their next phone. :)

Going forward, it looks like we might be able to get actual Linux apps running on modern Android through a built-in VM, similar to what you can do on ChromeOS today.
If you think that’s too nerdy for most people, you’re probably right—but it’s *much* simpler and lower-barrier than flashing an entirely new OS and abandoning the entire ecosystem they’ve been using for the last decade or more all at once for an ecosystem that frankly isn’t ready.
