I can’t fucking agree more honestly. I already use LineageOS on my phones and not the stock ROMs that they come with, but even then, Google’s way of locking you in with their “open-source” Android kernel is very annoying. Some of the most popular Android apps won’t work because of their Safety-Net and Google Services dependencies. And let’s not even get started on the dozens of binary blobs in the firmware that you can’t get rid of if you want your phone to keep on working.
It’s all so shitty. I’d drop my android phone for a Linux one in an instant if there’s even a decent one out there that works reliably. It’s so sad to see that it’s just a niche yet for privacy obsessed people and that’s it. It definitely needs more attention and funding.
