I don't think so. GrapheneOS is the way. It depends on AOSP however and Google could one day pull the plug (close source) but low risk for now

I don't think so

Good to know... I think I will take the risk anyway and try to be more privacy focused

So there's no point in using Graphene OS as the independent app stores would disappear anyway?

I'll basically have a shitty cheap "normal" phone for what society wants, and primary phone to do what I want with that isn't caged by Google (got my eyes on BraX3)

Since we're on Nostr..either stores dev team members creators starts concentrating building a regular linux based or a linux Nostr-based app stores and slowly persuades app creators to start building a regular linux-based apps or a linux Nostr-based apps and users slowly switching to linux phones OOOOOOR...we can still use Graphene and do this. Hope is not lost.
