Starting September 30th, there's going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

Been trialing Ubuntu Touch and looks great, solid moves forward. The UI flow is not my fav, but ok with compromises. But yes, in a world where we will need the browser to replace our apps, that is such a centerpiece. As well I wish to be able to use a system wide custom DNS like control D or nextdns for safety. Hopes for all these to keep on getting better
