No.

There's nothing slow about it.

Yes. It's more and more like iOS and more vendor lockin.

I feel like it is, and I'm actually now actively working on sourcing a secondary device to put postmarketOS Linux on and begin using Linux on mobile. I am currently unaffected by Google's shenanigans because I use LineageOS with no Google Play services at all, but I fear they could bake that into AOSP directly in the future. And then Android would be a totally dead platform. Therefore, it's actively time that I start looking at the alternative and trying to use it to see where it stands and where I might be able to help smooth out some rough edges. One thing is for certain, I will not stand for an Android, where I cannot install the applications I want to install on my own device, and I will not be going to iOS ever. Fuck that. I would get rid of my phone entirely before going with either of those options, and thankfully, it doesn't look as though that will be necessary, because Linux on mobile, while rough around the edges, does exist.

We need non-US technology platforms. US business leadership has proven that they cannot be trusted.
