They have the ecosystem by the balls. Phone manufacturers in recent years have been making unlocking & modifying their devices more and more difficult, google and app developers have been cracking down harder on modded devices by implementing TPM equivalents in the hardware to sign and verify that your system is a google-appproved one, and alternatives still are decades behind in terms of app ecosystem.

I think they might just get away with it.

Unless they give F-Droid access, the antitrust prosecution will double.

Yeah, I'll just ditch Google over this. The only reason I put up with their crap is because I can actually just install software on my phone. If they take that away, there's no motivation to stay.

I rely on fdroid and am not sure what I'll do with this pixel 6a. I sometimes root, sometimes don't but I may have to get on the lineageos program full time. And I'm hoping for a rumored last batch of pinephone pro phones to be available later this month although I have no illusions about it being a real daily driver.

LineageOS currently says that it won't install over the latest update on the 6a.

You can try it, but don't cry if it bricks.

The newish one I bought got GrapheneOS instead. That worked without a hitch, but it's got more than a few problems.

>>chasil+b01
What problems are you running into on Graphene OS? Maybe we have different workflows, but it works just fine for my purposes.

I have issues getting sms pass through to a secondary profile, especially if it is a group message or contains media. I have to remember to open the messaging app for it to actually refresh and download/notify me of new messages.

It didn't used to be like this but started maybe a year ago.
