tbh the only thing that keeps people from jumping to a full deGoogle phone or an open source Linux phone is app. More specifically, IM and chat apps.

Social media and all those entertainment like Youtube, we can access via a good web browser. But those IM apps? Very hard because you can try to use an alternative, but people around you dont.

Hopefully this pushes Linux on Mobile devices to be a more daily drivable platform at least. Otherwise, guess we're fucked since there's no way Google will give in to the backlash since if memory serves me correctly they NEVER have. It's almost like they're basically a monopoly and can be as anti-consumer as they want or something...

Well, there’s that & whatnot.
