This would not have affected me since I use Lineage OS without Google Play Services, but I am now more seriously than ever looking into using a Linux phone like Postmarket OS.

    It would affect a lot of users, then it will indirectly affect you too, as a lot of devs won't be as interested in maintaining their apps for so few users. But I hope it will at least give a bit of a push to developing postmarket os. I personally am sure going to get a second hand phone to install postmarketos too and hope I can contribute at least a little bit. I am prepared to suffer, at least a little bit for the right cause.

    1. Camera
    2. Phone projection for cars
    3. Contactless pay/ wallet/pay alternative

    Give me a device that can do these and I am in for ditching android. I only use browsers or off store apps that have linux support mainly anymore anyway.

    At least the last one won't happen, as banks would have to be on board. And banks are not on your side with this one.

    To be honest this one is in hand, curve has an alternative product and a lot of banks across EU have nativr NFC. My country does not have those banks though. I hope revolut bring it in.

    I do want something that takes me tickets for shows and flights and membership cards too though

    Yeah, im in a similar situation. Curve doesn't work in my country and banks don't have their own solution. And google pay won't work on my grapheneos pixel.
