‘Your phone is about to stop being yours': anger brewing among Android fans as major Google app change draws near in c/technology@lemmy.world

I know but what I meant is having the Android compatibility layer integrated into the OS itself so that Android apps are available directly in postmarketOS, like they are in SailfishOS. Waydroid is cumbersome since you have to launch that first to then be able to open the app you want.

It's unfortunate that it isn't open source. Their AppSupport feature looks so great though. Hopefully it's possible to do something similar in postmarketOS.

Thoughts on GrapheneOS? Is it worth switching from an iPhone? in c/foss@beehaw.org

I recently switched from iPhone to my old OnePlus 7 and I'm using LineageOS with microG. I might have used GrapheneOS if it had been available to more than Pixel phones but I'm pretty happy with LineageOS.
