Graphene is also based on AOSP, which Google makes worse on purpose. I don’t think they’ll allow other devices to exist forever, or rather not in a way that’s compatible with “real” Android (aka Google-infested).
The only proper solution is to focus fully on the new Linux Mobile ecosystem and become independent from Google-maintained shit (and hardware - Graphene is based on Google Pixels, they literally exist at the mercy of Google). Otherwise they will fuck you over again and again. Not saying getting Linux Mobile on par will be easy, but it’s our only true, permanent option aside from rejecting smartphones altogether.

That’s true. Fair point.
