Through Waydroid and others you can run many if not most Android apps on supported Linux kernels. PostmarketOS and the PinePhone can use this to make using them a lot easier. You can even add MicroG to the mix to get most Play Services dependencies to work.
You’ll probably have to fight apps for banking and apps that use DRM, though. However, things like messengers should work on most cases, if not with slightly higher battery drain because the Google unified push API is missing.
