    Phones will still use android, but manufacturers are looking to de-google android so it’s not as heavily reliant on google services.

    A example is the removal of the required Google play store.

    Laptop manufacturers are also looking to move away from windows to a linux bases operating system.

    TBH this is the best news I have heard all week.

      I’d be great with that. I don’t want Google on my phone.

      Also I’m looking for a new laptop in the coming years and there’s no way I’m putting Windows on it. I’ve been poking around and there are actually a lot of options for Linux laptops now!

      I’m very happy.

        Don’t sleep on Google Services.

        If you’re not an iPhone user, those “services” are what keeps Google from killing Android entirely. Waaaayyyy too much data collection to just brush your shoulders off over.
