That's one of those ever spawning and dying wannabe
secure Android OS lineants. And those only begin to get
safer when they strip the google suite out of the stock Android.
Ok yes use them if you need to run Android-only apps, but
Android and its apps are generally as abysmal for privacy
and security as WinMac. And a lot of its apps won't run
without g-suite social-suite sdk libs or unlocked permissions.
Yet if it's a phone / phablet / web-only form factor you
want, Linux and even nearly BSD kernels will run on
some of the ARM64 models now, and you can run
Android emulator on amd64.
Android perhaps a bit moot re the subject, since where
are any particularly useful/featured email+gpg clients for
it... the small form factor exacts a mandatory toll there.
Which is an opportunity for any coders who can utilize it...
