I would consider this.   

The only issue is the apps on Android are of a questionable quality compared to Windows/OSX.  It's an ecosystem I barely tolerate just because it's mobile.   However, I find Android much more tolerable itself than Windows or OSX. Android doesn't get in the way of me using apps, while I feel like OSX/Windows are quite hostile environments for users.

This is why they added linux vm to android, to likely act as a bridge until more desktop native android apps are made.
