On that topic, please consider signing this change.org petition. I really don't want Google to start preventing installation of apps from outside the Play Store. The freedom I have to install software on my handheld computer is part of why I'm not in Apple's ecosystem.
I'm also concerned Google will start locking down the bootloader like Samsung has, though this petition doesn't address that.

I want these to succeed for a number of reasons. At the top of my mind right now is seeing GrapheneOS become a first-class citizen on a major manufacturer's platform, and to signal to other manufacturers the appetite people have for strong security, privacy, and true digital sovereignty.
@Lee_Holmes I appreciate that! Being able to create, delete, and move files from a GUI rather than just the terminal is a huge time-saver. Not to mention the syntax highlighting from VSC extensions.
Most of my computing life has been on Windows, but I'm enthusiastic about Windows and open-source more broadly.
I know it's probably better practice to simply use a terminal (#skillissue ), but I have to say that VS Code (and its forks) have fantastic remoting capabilities when connecting over ssh, especially to UNIX-based systems.
It made the process of joining this Ubuntu server VM to my Active Directory domain sooo much easier.
