The android client on a phone is hardly usable. A desktop client for Linux would allow me to actually play this game.

Adding my suggestions here as there are already many open bug reports related to performance.
I play the game on either a Pixel 7 or on my Core i7 Laptop running Fedora Linux and the game through wine.
Issues encountered:
- slow initial loading, the amount of loading/initializing/downloading/ etc. at every game startup is horrendous
- combined with the frequency at which the game hangs and you have to close and restart it you often lose a game simply by this delay.
Some additional suggestions
- disable animations as suggested here (this includes the animation of the play button)
- disable automatic refresh of news etc.
- option to disable the emotes/pets/sleeves and any other eye-candy that adds CPU/memory consumption but is not related to actual gameplay
- replace the Mulligan interface with cards overlayed of each other and a scroll bar and a deck with a simple 2 row "table" allowing the user to tap a card to select it.
Some suggestions as a workaround until the above suggestions can be implemented:
- add a connectivity icon, often it is not clear yet that the connection is lost and you lose valuable time to reconnect waiting on some reaction
- at startup check for an ongoing game. If a game is found disable any more loading to speed up reconnecting to the game as much as possible
- in the chat options add a 'lost my connection' kind of message
