This looks promising. Would be cool if we could set a standard Linux DE (like Plasma) as the default homescreen and have it integrate with Android's notifications, apps etc.

I'm trying to imagine a use case for this, but can't think of anything. Maybe Desktop mode + full/real Linux apps?

Oh that Is cool especially on a foldable you can run some interesting apps on it. And with wine + fex even more crazy stuff.

Very cool.

I don't quite follow why you need that? This runs on a real full Android, so surely drivers already work?
