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?

Yes they are, but it really depends on which one you get.

I have a fairphone 6 with pmOS on my desk here right now.

And it is ready to be a daily driver, and i will soon fully switch over to it.
