eOS is forked AOSP and has all Google "contributions" removed.
so yes. it's Android.
and so, OP's SSO problems are null since eOS has no issue running it due to it just being android under the hood.
that apk doesn't install on arm Linux. Comparing eOS to Postmarket is apples to oranges. eOS is still chained by the buttcheeks to AOSP and Android.
AOSP may not contain google services, but you're still at their mercy. No Google = No AOSP, or whenever they feel like it. Tomorrow, maybe.

Hey Folks, we have "AI" for you and you will use it, whether you want it or not...

Yes, but i have a Nothing Phone (1). I should check the other alternatives, but afaik lineageos does not support my phone.
The Mindset:
Lineage doesn't support my phoneI bought a phone that isn't supported by Lineage
I guarantee their device wiki existed before you bought your phone.

Your chats are saved in your account for up to 72 hours, whether Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.
I wonder how long before AI services are added to ad blockers and VPN privacy controls.
up to 72 hours
(then we permanently add them to our private fingerprint folder based on any google-related link or api you've ever interacted with)
The time limits on their spyware might as well be ignored.

Go to Settings --> Apps
Find "Gemini" and tap into the app page and tap disable
If you can't find Gemini, you phone probably didn't get the Google Play System Update yet, so check the app list when you update next time. (Or you can refuse to update, but outdated android comes with security risks)
Mine is already disable for some reason. Maybe I did that a while ago and forgot about it.
Gemini: okay! i'm disabled

I just went into my settings after reading this article (and getting a bit frustrated that it was a wall of text with no clear instructions right up front).
I did a search in settings for "gemini" and found the Gemini settings. There's no clear 'off' switch. But there's is an option to switch back to Google Assistant. So I did that. And not when I search for Gemini in settings it urges me to enable Gemini.
I'm taking that as a good sign that I've disabled it permanently. Thought I'd post this info in case it helps someone else. Or so if I'm incorrect somebody else can correct me.
I mean there were no instructions up front because literally Google is refusing to give them, basically.
No more choice just the company force feeding the user and saying it's good for them.Nowhere in the email or any of the Support pages did Google say how to remove all Gemini integrations from my phone.
I then emailed Google PR and... I asked if someone could provide actionable guidance for my readers who want to ensure Gemini integrations are completely disabled. Instead of answering the question, the person responding to my email wrote, in part: “This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.”Literally that reads like you can't turn it off and they just scrape less of your data on a technicality.

Laughs in Graphene
Google: Laughs in "Everybody else you communicate with who has that shit enabled"
