PostmarketOS can't happen fast enough
LineageOS, & GrapheneOS hopefully will still be good for now
and google will be doing everything they can to grow incompatibility and make maintaining an open fork impossible. don't forget that google employs devs for pay, but fork maintainers are doing it as a hobby, out of passion, while already working somewhere. It's a bit similar to matrix, its homeservers and clients. the spec and the software evolves slowly, but its still too fast for alt implementations
I don't see why samsung wouldn't accept this change. do they make use of the AOSP project? if they do, wouldn't they be able to make a deal with Google to have access to the code?
As a GrapheneOS user I'm with you on this. Hopefully this won't negatively impact the development of GOS. I feel like it will though.
I wonder how this will affect Ubuntu Touch.
