    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.

      Its not about Google services, its because the US government may prohibit foreign manufacturers from using Android.
