I’ve been using LineageOS for years, and have been planning for my next phone to be a used Pixel running GrapheneOS. While this announcement from Google sucks shit, it won’t affect me I don’t think. More worrying are the other changes in the pipeline that would stop development of GrapheneOS. I am dying for a working Linux phone.

We HAD one. It was called Greenphone.

It didn’t sell.

Now we don’t.

Damn, never even heard of it. Surely demand is higher now.

That was a pivot, according to a dev on the project.

It won’t apply to GrapheneOS. It only applies to certified OSes and GrapheneOS is not certified because it doesn’t license Google Mobile Services.

I get that. I’m more worried about other planned changes that will affect Grapheme development.
