The state of (real) Linux on phones - will they ever be truly usable?
Android is basically open source at the bare minimum. To use Android in a meaningful way, you need Google Play Services, which are proprietary and have root privileges on most Android phones (allowing Google to collect a lot of private data easily). The only ROMs I know of which utilise Sandboxed Google Play Services are GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP. microG exists on CalyxOS and /e/ OS, but it will never be as compatible as Google Play Services.
