After the news cycle recently exploded with the announcement that Google would require every single Android app to be from a registered and verified developer, while killing third-party app stores …
I’m strongly considering the switch to something like PostmarketOS. Also, I’m trying to donate small amounts to a few Linux phone projects, and am asking others to do the same. Even $5 here and there could be the difference needed to accelerate mobile Linux to a better state.
Have graphene devs announced where they stand about this situation? They’re security minded, not necessarily for freedom of choice, so they may go either way
They’re working with a different manufacturer, they don’t seem too worried about Google screwing around with everyone. They can always replace any Android components if need be.
So, what is your alternative suggestion?

Every little bit helps. Thank you for thinking ahead!
Buy an used pixel and install graphene.
