well if in the 10year future new OS are as easy installed as apps now, maybe. But that future is far off. Getting my grandma to install NewPipe is easier if Fdroid works on her phone, than to get her to install the new totallyFLOSS-OS

Have you tried installing GrapheneOS? I don't think it's harder than properly installing F-Droid and then installing NewPipe with it.

> the new totallyFLOSS-OS

Nobody said it has to be new and totally FLOSS. Just build on top of AOSP, which is open source and very mature, and that everybody knows (because it is Android :-) ).

Installing my OS as an app on top a spying [0] Google/Apple walled garden? No, thanks. Only bare-metal installation makes sense for the freedom of computing.
