Google really wants to fuck up AOSP development and are actively hostile these days to the project. If they could easily make Android closed source tomorrow, they would.
I think they will eventually do it. Or they will make a new system and not have it be open source. And leave AOSP to languish. And this is why my next device is going to be a device that supports post-market OS.
I'm going to make sure of that before I buy it, because even if it's difficult, it will be worth the switch.
I really want to move away from Android to straight Linux phone, but some applications like, Signal Messenger, don't have a non-Android or iOS version.
Foes something like Waydroid work on Linix phones?
Yes, it does
Yeah but it sucks
