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?

E/os is fine. I just bank on a laptop since I deleted MicroG. Nobody has to do that though.

There are no better options that US carriers support afaik. I'm doing the best I can over here.

E/os is not bad. I'm way more comfortable with it than I was on my super googled Samsung spy machine.
