So, what is your alternative suggestion?

[-] 1XEVW3Y07@reddthat.com 16 points 10 months ago

I'm strongly considering the switch to something like PostmarketOS. Also, I'm trying to donate small amounts to a few Linux phone projects, and am asking others to do the same. Even $5 here and there could be the difference needed to accelerate mobile Linux to a better state.

Every little bit helps. Thank you for thinking ahead!

Buy an used pixel and install graphene.

Have graphene devs announced where they stand about this situation? They're security minded, not necessarily for freedom of choice, so they may go either way

They’re working with a different manufacturer, they don’t seem too worried about Google screwing around with everyone. They can always replace any Android components if need be.
