Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Is this still going to happen? What can we do?

Like Microsoft, Google seems to be forcing Power Users to Linux.

But, wouldn’t we (or you) miss the Android apps? Interesting though if we could make that happen.

I think our best chance to have less influence from Google would be legislation from the EU. (Government of France 🇫🇷 is based: they’re going Linux).

I dont know about all the Linux for phone. But I do know couple of them let you run Android apps. I think Valve might even be working on something for the Steam Frame. Which I assume could be ported to the phones.

And yeah I would miss apps. But Ill only be dicked around so much.
