Well it's open source android, if the code is bad, it's jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.

The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.

I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.

It is full of proprietary software. I wouldn't call it that open.

Okay but all the apps developed for android will now being useless?

What do you mean?

You can use sandboxes play store if you wish.

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So you will have to emulate all this apps? Like I'm not talking about these on the play store like games or others, I'm talking about the great apps that you can find on fdroid

Depends on what you are referring to. If Linux Mobile, Android apps can be run on Waydroid and there is a compatibility layer like Wine available. However, for Linux Mobile, you'll open up Gnome and KDE apps. In Plasma, you have kirigami which enables convergent apps (that work on desktop, mobile and tablet). As it matures, more apps will be developed that supports it.

The world and ecosystem now doesn't define the ecosystems of the future.
