Before anyone gets too excited, the headline is clickbait. The bigger Chinese phone brands are looking into de-googled Android. They are still going to use Android.
Chinese laptop makers are also in search of an OS that isn't Windows. Queue a race to prop Linux with Android support on that side of things.
de-Googled android sounds even better. The story is cooler than the title!
a duopoly is better than a monopoly but 3 platforms would be better
This is why my next GPU its gotta be Intel
Just read for a second about intel's history on anti competition practices eg they would ban stores from carrying out amd cpus in my country in Europe
Oh yeah, I'm not saying they're the good guys at all. But we need a 3rd player on the GPU market.
