> For mobile, we have PostmarketOS, Phosh, Ubuntu Touch. I really must try living in them, is it on me? IDK, our government even has an identity app for iOS and Android. I should not be using it, I should stick to web. But its so much more convenient. I'm just weak, aren't I?

Don't forget GrapheneOS, LineageOS and other de-googled FOSS Android Versions

These aren't GNU/Linux, they have to follow Google's development strategy. It's like fighting with Chrome by using Chromium.

Nobody was talking about GNU. Most don't care if the userspace utilties are gnu coreutils/libc or musl/busybox for example.

AOSP is free and open source software.

You can't run AOSP on any existing hardware. Except maybe Pinephone and Libem 5, and only in theory.

Also, you should read all the good arguments on HN why you shouldn't use Chromium even though it's technically FLOSS.

What do you mean? I can run AOSP on Google Pixel devices for example.

It's not AOSP, it contains a lot of proprietary blobs.
