Well it's open source android, if the code is bad, it's jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.
The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.
I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.
Okay but all the apps developed for android will now being useless?
What do you mean?
You can use sandboxes play store if you wish.
So you will have to emulate all this apps? Like I'm not talking about these on the play store like games or others, I'm talking about the great apps that you can find on fdroid
Depends on what you are referring to. If Linux Mobile, Android apps can be run on Waydroid and there is a compatibility layer like Wine available. However, for Linux Mobile, you'll open up Gnome and KDE apps. In Plasma, you have kirigami which enables convergent apps (that work on desktop, mobile and tablet). As it matures, more apps will be developed that supports it.
The world and ecosystem now doesn't define the ecosystems of the future.
It is full of proprietary software. I wouldn't call it that open.
You really have 0 understanding on how all this works ๐ญ
Do you? It ships proprietary Google services and encourages closed source solutions. Not only that, but the original developer is convinced that he is the only source of truth.
It actually doesn't.
It is the open source code. You can optionally install Google play in a restrictive sandbox if you wish. You do not have to.
I cannot disagree with the last sentence. He has his fair share of issues, but it doesn't take away from his ability or contributions.
It does not "ship" them. They are available at your option. Other solutions to solve the google problem such as MicroG have/had several security issues. My favourite was when they leaked user passwords.
