Another interesting observation is that linux marketshare in India has been falling in the last months since the peak above 17% in last September no 8,79% in January. Does anyone know something about what happened in there?

    Yes, this is the alternative. And it’s a PITA as you say. And might not even be possible in the future, given the trend towards locking down Android and OSs in general.

    • Yeah we need to fight to ensure its possible going forward. Even now GrapheneOS doesn’t have RCS or google pay cos google won’t give GrapheneOS a certificate as a trusted os (despite googles own international android developer team requesting it as GrapheneOS makes a significant contribution to android security).

        I don’t want RCS on my phone. I would rather use an open standard like XMPP or Matrix. But Big G’s behavior in this regard is very toxic and monopolistic. Also, I believe for a truly free mobile experience, we should support linux mobile, rather than android ROMs
