Root support should able to accomplish. However, once rooted, there is no Google Play.

Why?

Android support with google play would be infinitely useful for me. Why? Microsoft office (as someone else pointed out)..

I have the use case here, where work is enrolled in the O365 world entirely, and for all its proprietary faults, its quite handy. Essentially, I need it to do my job.

What I don't need, is Windows.. Well, I suppose I do.. I have an android tablet and I have enrolled that in my companys O365 stuff - I get more work done on that (avoiding windows by choice that way) but its not a great solution.. I much prefer a real keyboard and mouse.

If Android with the play store could work, I could more or less ditch my work laptop in favour of something super light weight with great battery.

I can't offer anything in terms of development or advanced config, but I am happy to use, test and encourage as much as I can.

Not to discount our plea for a better Android image, but have you tried downloading/installing the O365 apks on the current working build? So far, I haven't had any issues installing any normal apps. Only things like the MicroG suite/Play Store have been an issue.

We could use MicroG in place of Google Play for the rooted image. That should circumvent that limitation.
