          we need an open source and hopefully modular alternative to android, and we need it yesterday.

          We have that. Android is an open source project. At least the AOSP-part is, but that’s what GrapheneOS, for example, is based off of.

          You can argue how ‘free’ that is. (being based on GPLv2 and the Apache License, imho it is pretty free); but no matter how free the software is, ddesn’t prevent hardware manufacturers to prevent it from working on their devices in the future, by requiring some weird proprietary firmware bits.

          What we really, really need, is libre hardware.

      Yep.

      I am in the process of buying a phone to run Linux on. The App i am building (in Flutter) will even target Linux and Android Phones, so that i can jump ship if android goes to shit.
