U have several fork of android some are great. The issue is I need google service for a lot of proprietary app like uber, banking app etc.
Linux phone exist but without an appstore it s useless
That’s kind of the point. The EU could theoretically demand some Linux support from banks. It wouldn’t be a popular decision at first, but the consumer protection agency is capable of that, banks are capable of that, and it would help a lot.
I don’t think it would happen, it’s cheaper for banks to lobby against it than do a bare minimum, lobbying is cheaper than anything, but still, neat idea.
Can EU please make an open source phone?
We have linux for computers, but we need a “linux” for phones (yes I know Android uses Linux Kernel, I’m talking about like a Libre Non-Google OS)

I’m holding my breath for the pinephone to be ready for primetime. I check in on it every so often to see what the current buzz is.
Does Graphene OS fit that description?
