    Honestly, that’s great, but you might as well cut to the chase and switch ROMs as well. Google isn’t going to budge.

        If you don’t care about installing any particular mobile software, that would work.

        LineageOS is the current game in town otherwise, unless you want a Pixel, in which case there’s options like GrapheneOS.

          I mean, to some extent: waydroid actually works quite well, if you don’t mind their security issues, a few apps also work with android translation layer. My main troubles are actually with virtual keyboards: there’s nothing as good as heliboard so far, although the new plasma keyboard with custom layouts is usable

            Interesting. I’ve tried Linux phones, they’re not a bad idea per se. It looks like Waydroid is literally just emulating LineageOS, though, so I do start to wonder what the point is.

            I suppose one advantage would be you can actually hack your system a bit, instead of having everything locked into the ROM.
