Oh yeah, I love playing with Linux phones. I once created a container, installed Proton bridge in it and enjoyed having my mails in the native phone app.

You 'almost' succeeded? So, it didn't work?

@Hammerheart at the time of writing that post I almost succeeded. Sometime after that I did succeed and shared screencast. I'm still improving it and considering writing a Rust applications for that.
