Starting September 30th, there's going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

If you do find any issues with the wiki, make sure to report it on the Matrix server! When I had an issue with an instruction on the wiki, it turned out it was a workaround that was never supposed to be done by normal people (installing edge kernel on stable installation), and the wiki was edited nearly instantly! Really cool actually...
