You got to take a small toll on comfort if you want anything not backed by a huge evil corporation to have a chance.

Before it was Linux and now it's Ubuntu Touch, sure it's not perfect but it's a very much usable system which needs more people to try it out as their daily driver. I made the shift a month or so ago because I don't want to have to choose between two evils.

How can I use an OS that's not iOS on Android as a daily driver? 99% of what I do on my phone is chat to my friends and pay for things, which I won't be able to do at all with the free OSes. I might as well go without a phone at that point.

I guess the offered way for problematic apps is Waydroid? I'd be interested to hear how that works in practice.

What's the problem? Use Ubuntu Touch with Waydroid and install the WhatsApp apk, or Signal, or whatever else.

You don't need to be using Android to run Android apps.
