But the important question here is: why is it not as good and efficient as running Linux natively?
Is it RAM? Because at some point that stops being a problem.
Is it 3D acceleration? That is not only fixable, but also most other "Linux native" mobile environments have the same problem.
Is it integration with the host operating system
or because you actually prefer it over the host environment? That's the only reason I currently have for preferring a native Linux environment, but even I myself admit I don't see this idea flying with many people.

..., the only thing I can thing that won't work is "host integration", i.e. installing NetworkManager on the chroot will not replace the host's network manager. But other than freaks like me, who may want that?

AThe integration is pretty well done, considering. You can also configure it to autostart the linux environment on android bootup.

how about something like a Asus Zenphone 2 as a starting point as IIRC it uses an atom processor.
For UI, what about following the Jolla libhybris route to get wayland and then making uses of libmutter. Solus/Budgie are using it for their desktop to provide an alternative to gnome-shell. The code required from to get a custom libmutter WM running is quite small. I took a look a while back as an alternative to hildon-desktop/libmatchbox2 combination for GTK3.

For example, you can run apt-get install on a chroot on top on Android. I use emerge on my Jolla.
(In fact, I use a RPI2 to build Gentoo binary packages for the Jolla. Anything graphical is painful though, but that's mostly because almost no one uses Gentoo for ARM).
And also as in the previous case, the only thing I can thing that won't work is "host integration", i.e. installing NetworkManager on the chroot will not replace the host's network manager. But other than freaks like me, who may want that?
