I hope they push this out and spark the ire of the EU

probably will take a bit longer because it will happen in certain countries like Indonesia and Brazil first (i.e. not EU countries)--basically the countries with rampant apk scamming, unfortunately. I think this move is also partially forced by the government in those countries, but that's just my conspiracy hat talking, note that I'm also against this move and much prefer a scam education (I'm in Indonesia).

GrapheneOS only support Pixel devices.

Can you run common apps from the play store if you choose?

I think you can install Google Services (including Play Store) if you want, but there are alternative like Aurora Store that lets you download apps from Play Store without Google Services, but obviously you can't buy apps from it

the main concern is probably banking apps or some apps that require Google Play Services to run

I don't think it will automatically uninstall sideloaded apps in your phone, it simply prevent sideloading from unregistered developers. There is an "official" way to circumvent it, doing it directly on the phone is a bit convoluted and require you to wait 24 hours, the other way need a PC and USB cable to install apps with adb--that one is just like usual.

lmfao, I wonder if the school even check the teacher's background

I think he meant the installer files, not the actual .exe that launched the game, but who knows

I think there are games that are simply a single .exe file, so copying that does work, I think I have one in Windows XP era and just left it on the desktop for easy access lol
