Having a Linux phone that chroot compartments for Android apps is the dream.
I was just checking that yesterday, and there was the opportunity to have something equivalent to a “steam phone” with https://liberux.net/#specs , but the indiegogo failed.
One that is actually sold is the Furiphone , which is under finalization of software update., and has chroot for Android apps with Waydroid. check the links ! 😊
The GNU organization just announced a Linux phone a couple weeks ago
Not exactly that but Jolla might be interesting for you. I had the first edition of the device in 2014 and I loved it.
Thry finally released a second gen hardware last year I think.
BlackBerry had a separate walled/secured android instance a long time ago. I wish that more people bought the phone. Jolla is interesting, but I really want the banking apps to work.

Steam Xperia Linux phone would be a dream. I think if a Steam phone did well then other companies like Asus would jump into Linux phone.
Then suddenly we get mainstream alternatives to Android.
