They already showed their hand. Doesn't matter if they've backed down. My new phone is going to use GrapheneOS and if this shit trickles down (Graphene is still based on Android) I'm going full Linux phone.

Graphene has explicitly stated that it will never accept this as a part of their operating system

You can't sideload on Linux

At this point it is a waiting game. My next phone might be Android, but I sure hope the mobile Linux ecosystem is in a good place for the one after that. Preferably I'd switch on nearest opportunity though. I still have some time left in terms of support for my current phone so I have time to think and test the waters.
