Tbh, I'd love to be able to use this less for games and more for just Android apps.
I'd love to move more to a less-Google-owned mobile platform that still has the apps I use and the power to run things. I think the two frontrunners are like /e/OS or GrapheneOS.
But with Lepton: A) there's a better chance of the idea of a Linux-non-Android phone, since Lepton could allow Android apps run on a Linux phone; or B) make Linux tablets better, again with Android apps.
I also have an idea in my head that next "upgrade" I can afford I'll ditch my phone and go for a smartwatch (with 4G/5G) and a tablet (for apps). The best pairing is probably from Samsung, which unfortunately is both Android/Google and now focused on promoting AI features (ew). I'd go for GrapheneOS if I could put it on a tablet of suitable specs, and if a smartwatch would work well with it (which the watch would probably still be Samsung's, but maybe RePebble can do something great?).
But if I could use a Linux tablet? That's a computer at that point, and I could also benefit from having a laptop since there's also things an Android device couldn't do that a computer could (I'm a software dev, it'd be painful on Android). Waydroid/Lepton then supplements the part where there are things Android can do that computers can't, which is just "apps the developer didn't make a webapp/computer app for". Still would have to figure out the watch part, but it's a start
