They have a workaround, which is to package debs in APKs, which they can generate automatically.

The Termux developers have a plan (https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Termux-and-Android-10 https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Termux-and-An...). >> This is what we get from monopoly. Agreed. The Apple / Google mobile OS dualopy leaves few choices.

  This is the side effect when people espouse "scaling software" and "software is eating the world". Whoever scales first eats the world.

  The few choices are Librem 5 and PinePhone, native GNU/Linux phones.

    Android hardware running GNU/Linux distros (such as Sailfish OS) on top of Android blobs via libhybris could be a stopgap solution as well. But indeed, phones running normal Linux distros need to be the norm in this case.

    I have Librem pre-ordered but I expect it will be barely usable as an Android replacement (yet). Though it had to start somewhere and I am glad Purism started that. There are many many smaller and bigger things which went into Android or iOS which will need to be re-done from scratch and things like Google Pay probably won't ever be on such a device. Camera will probably be quite bad, etc. On the other hand, there is Andbox which should partly fill in the app gabs in the meantime.

Well.. duopoly. I think we're witnessing the war on general computation being lost: https://archive.org/details/GeneralComputation https://archive.org/details/GeneralComputation

  We are losing the war because those who are supposed to fight for general computing are ceding ground to the duopoly due to a myriad of reasons(convenience, "security", ease of use, etc)
