Article note: Now I'm curious if this is going to be the out for all the bullshit on APK signing.
The sophisticated users will just run their preferred software in a Linux VM, and ignore/distrust the host android system to the greatest degree possible, like we've been forced to do with basebands already. And everyone else will get herded into the coercion engine to drown under a flood of ads and propaganda.
I guess it depends how good the performance and feature access for the hosted Linux system is - if the tooling gets where I can just use an Android system as a bootstrap for Plasma Mobile on Debian or whatever, and put the few things I want running on the Android side in their own little jails, those terms might be acceptable.
