Probably not time yet. The interim is an alternate OS such as lineage or graphene. Don't use google play and you're fine.

Basically that's a short term solution to wait out this stupid policy to get fixed, or if they double down it gives Linux phones a bit more time to come to market (I have not used one, but its essentially unanimous they are not ready to be a replacement today).

All they need to do to start with is make a call and send a text. We can get the bells and whistles later.
