If you have a non-Google build of Android on your phone, none of this applies. However, that's a vanishingly small fraction of the Android ecosystem outside of China.

Linux-based Android build when?

Android is already based on Linux. But in general there are FOSS phone OS's. GrapheneOS being the dominant player

If the dominant player is an OS that supports a total of seven phones, the entirety of which are strictly Google branded, were fuckin' doomed.

LineageOS is bigger than Graphene. It's just not automatically deGoogled.

needs to be a full linux based and controlled os base though since graphene is most likely dead in the water as more phone manufacturers make it impossible to unlock the bootloaders.
