The OnePlus Watch 2 has 2 chips, and basically runs a lightweight OS while keeping the hungry one in very very low power, and only powering it up when necessary.

I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid’s “you-must-be-a-hacker” issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your “non-hacker” things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser…) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.

I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.

What do you guys think?

    Yes but the problem is that currently banking apps and possibly other “legally important” apps will freak out running under Waydroid.

      Linux market share is increasing. If we can get the phone I described, banking apps will adjust in 5 years if enough people demand it.

      Anyway 2fa banking apps should become open source as well and work on any 2fa app. It’s ridiculous that you have to use their app for it.
