It sounds way better if you just say "Google will restrict people from installing the apps they want"

in reply to Hawk • • •Which apps. We can check for you if they actually work or not.
I'm on e/os and ibhavervzero issues, including banking, government and work apps.

in reply to Sunshine (she/her) • • •Also IodéOS for those that support it as it supports bootloader relocking. It is pretty much a fancy lineageOS installer IIRC but with more frequent updates than /e/. Good for things like the fairphone 6 that doesn't have Calyx yet.
(PMOS would be even better but it doesn't support bootloader relocking for security which is needed as a minimum nowadays for a daily driver for folks living under or traveling through fascist governments).

I urge you to edit your post to clarify what's really happening. I've been feeling sour about the whole situation for weeks, and was so relieved that there's a solution besides wiping my phone.
I might install GrapheneOS anyway, at some point, but I no longer feel I must do so to keep using the 20 or so F-Droid apps I use. I was really not looking forward to wiping my only phone.
As soon as I can buy a solid Linux phone, I'm ditching Android and Google forever, but for now, I'm glad I can just keep doing what I'm doing. You just have to jump through a few hoops to enable installing and updating software from "unverified" developers, but whatever.... It sucks to have to do it and wait 24 hours to complete the setup, but once you do, you can install any apps you want.
