With google following apple’s walled garden, and limiting third party app installations, can someone else big (nonprofit like GNU or Linux foundation) fork and maintain android? Reason for choosing someone big is for mass adoption and that google is slowly boiling the pot to see what enshittification it could get away with

    I’m not sure what GNU is going to do. A while back they announced that they wanted to make sure free software phones were going to be a thing, but i don’t think they’re forking android to do it.

      Yeah I think many members of the community would like to see android get forked but not many are willing to do it. I don’t blame them.
