And that will end the use of Android for me.
Same. That is the do-not-cross-line. One of them.
What's the alternative though?
Linux phones, such as the https://furilabs.com/shop/flx1/
Since this is going to be enforced through Google Services custom ROMs like GrapheneOS will not be affected. Of course if F-Droid no longer exists, that means we lose the largest centralized repository of open source apps which is a huge blow. There are other ways of installing and updating open source apps like Obtainium. But the big thing with F-Droid is that it also provides discoverability.
i'd imagine google can't magically enforce this for old versions of android or custom roms, so just keep using that like 90% of us already do..
I have a linux phone that I haven't been motivated enough to switch over to.
