Does anyone have one of these phones https://linuxstans.com/linux-phone/ and can say anything about it?
Other Linuxphones would be fine by me as well :)

I'm strongly feeling there's an end coming for using Android in the way I used to.
Google Play Integrity bullshit is putting the nail in the coffin, if killing F-Droid doesn't come first.
Too many lickspittle app developers cave to Google's monopoly.
Then again, I was able to grow up without a portable computer and while the world has changed quite a bit since that, I'm sure I can go back to that.

    They cave because the amount of people who sideload anything is a rounding error of users. Most just load from the Play store.

    And what good is 'sideloading' (imo a loaded expression), if you can't use your phone the way you want because of the Google Play Integrity crap that fails on custom ROMs?
    Btw. I don't think that the amount of F-Droid users are a rounding error, but I may be wrong.
