    Linux phones are about to get interesting.

    15 years ago the world wasn’t looking for a maliciously compliant escape route.

    Unfortunately, I don't think most people are too interested even now. The masses that buy phones and make it profitable aren't aware of things like this or even give a shit. Any time I bring something up with friends and family it gets shrugged off. Realistically Linux phones are going to be fringe unless they can offer something up to the masses that is attractive to them.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    I don't think anything other than degoogled Android is mature enough to recommend. And it looks like degoogled androids might extinct soon.

    What makes you say Degoogled Android might go extinct? Projects like LineageOS and GrapheneOS are still going strong. /e/OS, murenaOS, VollaOS and other similar phones have been coming out of the woodwork recently. I think DeGoogled Android is just getting started.

    That is, unless, you mean Google is working hard to close down AOSP so the downstream DeGoogled projects don't function anymore? Then yeah, I sadly have to agree.

    Google seems to start cracking down on free android, I don't really believe they want to just stop the ability to install apps on your regular android and be done with it. Once they get the taste for blood, they can't stop
