@ArceusI This sort of reminds me of when Android first came out. It is Linux-based, or so I thought. I forgot which make of Android I had, but boy was I disappointed when I discovered you needed Microsoft Windows to update and access it. Android has changed since then, some for the better, others for far worse. Motorola will change the nature of Graphene OS and will enact something similar to Google Android. Motorola’s concerns are not people / users, but profit. Between making a quick dollar and protecting the user, you will see 100% which way they go. That’s why other companies / initiatives like Fairphone and Jolla need to step forward and offer real options.
