    While this would definitely be useful and make linux software more accessible, I’m worried about something similar to Android’s Google Play Services eventually happening where almost every piece of software, despite being for an open source operating system, depends on proprietary google software

      Im not too worried myself, it’s worth noting that I myself am perfectly fine using a fully foss android phone with the sole exception of discord, since even the webclient for that sucks. it is possible they could eventually go down that path, but as long as the option is there for foss I don’t really mind too much
