I was going to switch to Linux, but my big hesitation at this point is none of the distros integrate Android support

Whereas osx supports iOS and Windows supports Android now

So, it's actually far less productive for me

Care to elaborate on you are looking for with Android support?

Have been happily using KDE Connect for a while now.

Ability to easily run Android Apps natively, within Linux.. There are lots of hacky ways, but I really want a proper official supported way (which both OSX and Windows does).

Because I have a few custom apps and such I need for work or for other things. Yes I can do them on my phone, but easier to do them on computer

You shall not get "proper official supported way" from Linux, for it is a kernel, not an Android emulator.

You know what I meant.. Obviously I meant something baked into a distro like Ubuntu or fedora to let me use Android apps without messing around.

Arguing semantics isn't really helpful
