Run any Android specific apps in Waydroid (e.g. WhatsApp) and it appears as just another icon in your app drawer, or use a web app, again you can make it a dedicated icon in your app drawer.
Unfortunately Google Pixel 7 is not a device supported yet on any distros I've seen; PostmarketOS has the best support for Android devices. Across distros, Fairphone has the best support.
What people with Android devices can do though, is install Linux on top of Android. Opposite of Waydroid (not as good), but at least lets you play around with it to get familiar without needing root:
Andronix
UserLAnd
Termux (install distro via command line)
