Agreed. Linux is the future, fk Android. GrapheneOS should stop wasting their efforts on Android, when they could've contributed towards PostmarketOS or similar, or even made their own distro. Working on Android is a complete and utter waste of time and effort.
For what it is worth, GrapheneOS have expressed interest in a new base OS with an Android compatibility/virtualisation layer, but they do not have the resources to build it themselves and a suitable open source one does not already exist for them to leverage.
The future is an inappropriate OS with catastrophic battery management, zero software available, no sandboxing or proper security measures, and the oh so stable kernel ABI & Gnome APIs to develop for, yep yep yep.
The future is an inappropriate OS which spies on you and harvests your data, gets more and more locked down with every release restricting user freedom, and prioritises corporate interests over end user interest, yep yep yep.
Yes, let's abandon a very mature OS that is still open source, has millions of apps, and billions of users by one one that was designed for desktops, with a security posture fitting the 90s, virtually no phone apps unless you emulate said very mature OS, and which will have all the same problems with remote attestation, etc. </s>
Yes, I'm sure the billions of people will read the advice of a random commentor on a niche site and throw away all their handsets running a "very mature OS" and cause a crisis. </s>
