You're considering a return to Windows Vista, but you're curious about using Android as your sole operating system. There are options to run Android on devices like a Raspberry Pi or even a full desktop setup, though results have been mixed. Your goal is to enjoy familiar apps and interfaces without relying on touchscreens. If you'd like, I can share more details on how to set this up and what challenges you might face.

You can try using Chrome Book OS on your built computer, but it depends on the device's specifications and whether it supports Play Store access.

You can't run Android apps directly on your phone unless you use emulators, which work poorly. Android games are designed specifically for touchscreen devices. Even with a powerful desktop like mine, I can play some Android titles, but they don't perform well.
