This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

A PC where I can't install what I want? WTF is the point of that bullshit.

Thanks but I'll stick to my steam deck for my portable Linux computing needs where I can do what the hell I want.

I guess we'll see how that goes come September timeframe.

I'm sure it'll go pretty well on GrapheneOS

Not sure why everyone seems to think GrapheneOS is going to be immune and unaffected by Google actively trying to fuck AOSP to death.

Because now they have OEM support.

We'll see what happens long term but they will be unaffected by the September changes.
