Phones will still use android, but manufacturers are looking to de-google android so it's not as heavily reliant on google services.
A example is the removal of the required Google play store.
Laptop manufacturers are also looking to move away from windows to a linux bases operating system.
TBH this is the best news I have heard all week.

Redstar OS it is 😉
I'd be great with that. I don't want Google on my phone.
Also I'm looking for a new laptop in the coming years and there's no way I'm putting Windows on it. I've been poking around and there are actually a lot of options for Linux laptops now!
I'm very happy.
This comment sounds like an Ad. Or some AI bs canned response.
An ad for what?
Its not about Google services, its because the US government may prohibit foreign manufacturers from using Android.
Don't sleep on Google Services.
If you're not an iPhone user, those "services" are what keeps Google from killing Android entirely. Waaaayyyy too much data collection to just brush your shoulders off over.

Lol. Good luck on that. Because for one, it's not true at all. The general public is and has been brought up with Windows. Ignoring how incredibly difficult it is to get folks used to an OS, let's take a moment to imagine how painful it would be to get people used to an OS that doesn't hold your hand for you.
Linux has it's place. But it will never replace Windows. Even if MS went backrupt and closed shop, Linux is not ever gonna be the next go-to OS.
Linux is doing what it's always done.
It's being amazing in it's space as-is and it's simply existing and being useful. Trying to push Linux onto the mainstream is never gonna happen without overhauling and changing what makes Linux amazing to begin with.
