What alternative are you going to make? My bank only publishes their app on Play Store. I can either use Play Store app or Aurora to install it. You think that if you build alternative, open source store my bank will publish their app there? You think any bank will? F-Droid already exists, do you see any banks publishing their apps there? Do you see any of them dong Linux version of their apps?
The alternative here would be some other corporation building independent app store and getting everyone to publish their apps there. Amazon tried that many years ago. Maybe Samsung could do it now. It’s definitely not something we can make.
Thats why we need an alternative.someone, some company, anyone that can make software that dosent rely on Google just to work.
Its crazy that even in the degoogle world, we still have to rely on Google. if the whole point is to not use Google, then what’s the point? We should have our stand alone apps should we not? We can’t make them but someone our there can.
Well looks like its time to start making alternatives or scream for Linux to come out with a phone.

Linux phones work, but they depend on many Google Android apps to be daily usable by normal people.
Honestly, at this point we just need alternatives to some of these Google apps in general.
I’m out of breath by this point. You want to scream now of all times?
