Is running Anbox on the Librem5 reasonably secure?

[BillHicks]

I’ve had luck running Android apps in Qubes OS to keep them from looking into my stuff. The idea is basically to achieve the same in a Librem5 phone running Pure OS: to compartmentalize Android using Anbox and have it with me on the go… It’s an expensive phone so I would like help in trying to figure out if it’s worth it or is this a method that will compromise privacy/security nevertheless?

Congrats on managing to extract the product from purism cold dead hands lol

 

from what I know of anbox, it sandboxes all apps into their own environments, so the security risks should be minimal

 

seeing as I don’t actually use Linux on my phone yet(still hoping) I obviously can’t verify how well it works
