What about a linux phone that has a full Android OS sleeping in parallel? Like OnePlus Watch 2 that runs 2 OSs at the same time. (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

That's specifically for Magisk.
This is for Waydroid.

My understanding is the Google Integrity API is not the same as Google Play Protect:

The Play Integrity API helps you check that interactions and server requests are coming from your genuine app binary running on a genuine Android device
[...]
Determine whether Google Play Protect is turned on and whether it has found risky or dangerous apps installed on the device

Google Play Protect seems to function more like an antivirus

Google Play Protect includes on-device capabilities that help keep devices and data safe. These on-device services integrate with cloud-based components that allow Google to push updates that constantly improve their functionality.

Because Play Protect works doesn't mean Integrity API will.

You need Google Play Certification to pass Play Integrity checks.
For Waydroid this is the only step you should need, unless you add Magisk.
Magisk breaks other checks.

Play Integrity :

Free of known malware: Determine whether Google Play Protect is turned on and whether it has found risky or dangerous apps installed on the device.

Where did you get that second screenshot from? It's not available on my Waydroid instance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
