The way I see it, a fully Linux phone would be the next obvious step. If EU want’s to ditch American Big Tech properly, you need to run Linux with no ties to Android or Google at all. This means that you need to have native Linux apps for doing all the basic necessities of modern life. Either that, or the necessities need to function properly as a website, better yet, a web app.
Anyway, I would like to hear more about your experiences with GrapheneOS. Which types of apps had issues?
I had an issue with one banking app, but that might be because I had the second degoogled user going at that time as I tried to see how some of my apps worked that didn’t have any data on if they work or not.
I also had issues with a game called Root, Play store suddenly said it was not compatible but I installed via Aurora while spoifing a different phone and it continues to work fine.
There were some minor hiccups on some apps that were fixed by disabling some exploit protections built into Graphene (a simple Exploit protection compatibility mode toggle in the app settings).
Overall I’m really happy and if I wasn’t concerned about Google further closing down the Android ecosystem, I wouldn’t be considering switching. I never had a situation where I thought I’d be better off on stock Android
