I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

TL&DR; PinePhone. Longer explanation below

  1. I'll prepare for sacrifices. I should not blame the Open-Source alternatives that they're not on par with Android yet. It was Android's decision to become more closed, and I'll keep remembering it.

  2. I'll start using my PinePhone that I already own anyway. I've used it for a while, but there was less push for me to use back then. Without F-Droid, I'll press myself hard to adapt to PinePhone and will just stay there until it improves. I have 1-2 decades of experience of using non-mainstream software and see it improve with time. I'll learn. I'll adapt.
