J'ai chopé un Pixel 3a (merci redangel), et installé Ubuntu Touch dessus. On va bien voir ce que ça vaut...
Ah bin voilà ma réponse; excellent, je suis curieux aussi! happy

des petites imperfections, comme quelques éléments qui sont en anglais alors que le reste est en français.

Android developer verification: Balancing openness and choice with safety
android-developers.googleblog.com

This flow is a one-time process for power users – but it was designed carefully to prevent those in the midst of a scam attempt from being coerced by high pressure tactics to install malicious software. In these scenarios, scammers exploit fear – using threats of financial ruin, legal trouble, or harm to a loved one – to create a sense of extreme urgency. They stay on the phone with victims, coaching them to bypass security warnings and disable security settings before the victim has a chance to think or seek help. According to a 2025 report from the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), 57% of surveyed adults experienced a scam in the past year, resulting in a global consumer loss of $442 billion. Because the consequences of these scams that use sophisticated social engineering tactics are so severe, we have carefully engineered the advanced flow to provide the critical time and space needed to break the cycle of coercion.

How the advanced flow works for users

• Enable developer mode in system settings: Activating this is simple. This prevents accidental triggers or "one-tap" bypasses often used in high-pressure scams.

• Confirm you aren't being coached: There is a quick check to make sure that no one is talking you into turning off your security. While power users know how to vet apps, scammers often pressure victims into disabling protections.

• Restart your phone and reauthenticate: This cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.

• Come back after the protective waiting period and verify: There is a one-time, one-day wait and then you can confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication (fingerprint or face unlock) or device PIN. Scammers rely on manufactured urgency, so this breaks their spell and gives you time to think.

• Install apps: Once you confirm you understand the risks, you’re all set to install apps from unverified developers, with the option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely. For safety, you’ll still see a warning that the app is from an unverified developer, but you can just tap “Install Anyway.”

'Keep Android Open' movement fights Google dev requirementwww.theregister.com: Petition seeks to rally community opposition and alert regulators
Starting next year, Google plans to require all apps installed on certified Android devices, including sideloading, to come from developers it has verified. Many Android developers see the move as a power grab and have started a movement to "Keep Android Open."

The petition, organized by software developer Marc Prud'hommeaux, seeks to rally support to challenge Google's plan and to rouse regulators to the antitrust implications of allowing Google to oversee the verification of all Android developers working with Android Certified devices, but does not affect alternative Android or ASOP builds like /e/OS, LineageOS, or GrapheneOS.

The petition formalizes objections raised in online forums in the wake of Google's announcement and recaps sentiment articulated previously on the blog of F-Droid, an open-source alternative app store. A separate petition has been created on Change.org.

Among Android developers, opposition to Google's plan has been nearly universal, Prud'hommeaux told The Register in a phone interview. "I am sort of overwhelmed with the amount of support," he said. "I would ballpark estimate that over 90-95 percent of people are somewhere between concerned and outraged, but pretty much everyone is against it."
