Starting September 30th, there's going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

There isn't a daily driver with enough stock available that runs all android apps with Google Play services.

    I have not used Google Play services on my Android phone since 2019, so I'm perfectly used to not having those.

    That's fine but as an influx it has to be pre-installed and be exactly the same as Android.

    Why is google play services an absolute necessity?

    There are apps people potentially use that require it.

    i mean sure there might be apps that people potentially use that require it, but do those apps have no alternatives and are absolutely necessary?
