We, the undersigned organizations representing civil society, nonprofit institutions, and technology companies, write to express our strong opposition to Google’s announced policy requiring all Android app developers to register centrally with Google themselves in order to distribute applications outside of the Google Play Store, set to take effect worldwide in the coming months.

    Also kupfer (pmos but arch), ubports (ex Ubuntu touch) and droidian (similar to ubports with being halium-based but Debian and conventional DEs, hence, it's supposed to actually run software). Mobile-nixos, to some extent, although it's more of a PoC, in my experience
