my hot take: while this is good for users in short term, in long term it just prolongs non-copyleft android OS hold for google.

my only hope for grapheneos is that they pointed that they may move from android too.

That's the long-term plan, yeah. Moving from Linux entirely actually, as they mentioned a future microkernel project

[–] rezad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

as I said in last post, I only see copyleft as a viable alternative. too many dev efforts forked and privatized. android should have been a warning. but many devs just think open source is enough. and they still think getting adapted by big corporation will not change the direction of projects.

I am personally going in the direction of testing and helping only copyleft projects. so I skipped RedoxOS. even-though I like rust and new microkernel OSes.

If I am going to give my time to a project (small as it is) I don't want it to end up like android.

It'd be so awesome if Fairphone made a deal for Fairphone 7
