How does GOS work with apps, or how would a proper Linux OS work with apps?
For the former, GOS works really well for what I want from a smartphone. Self-hosted contacts and calendaring, Signal for messaging, Firefox and Vanadium for browsing, markdown editor, file sync, etc. all work great.
For the latter, a proper Linux-oriented release would be something like a mature version of the GNOME Shell mobile project. I don’t need specific Android apps, but rather the ability to complete certain tasks (banking, appointments, email, etc.). With Linux, there’s already an app for most of those tasks. The only exception might be Signal, but I’m sure if GNOME Shell matures enough we’ll see a solution for mobile Linux activation too.
