Wonder if this runs on Sailfish OS? That'll be ideal for me, as I'm looking to switch to SFOS on my phone fulltime.

Sailfish, if you take the paid option, already has android support.

Doesn't Sailfish have its own proprietary Android compatibility layer, at least in the official/commercial version? Of course that doesn't preclude anbox, but it's another option.

It does, in the Sailfish X variant (the one you pay for). I haven't tried that one, but I have a genuine Jolla phone with a much older version of Sailfish, and I run a lot of Android apps there - they all work fine. What doesn't work for me are apps needing the Google thingy API, which aren't that many.

From what I have heard the Volla people are working on Anbox support for their Sailfish OS port.
