If you are a massive Linux tinkerer, you will notice that the Gentoo-based OS is not modifiable. This is a security measure to prevent unintended writes to the sensitive parts of the system. You can disable the write protection by remounting the root as rewritable and setting the write protection to off.

If you're aiming to use Android apps, you should be looking none other than Chrome OS. Natively supporting Android apps without any emulators, it runs every Android app you can find as long it supports your architecture and a keyboard and mouse, and the best thing is - it's Google-backed.
