It's sort of a paradox. Low adoption leads to less resources, bug reports, developer interest, etc. and that in turn leads to low adoption.

What works for me is daily driving my linux phone, and having a used regular smartphone sitting in a drawer, turned off, until I absolutely need to run an app that is not compatible with Waydroid.

i would 100% own a big tablet like this to use at home, at the right price.

but then i remember i can more easily just get a used touchscreen laptop and install linux on that instead.

maybe for enthusiasts, but the average person isn't making bug reports.
