Saw this e-OS on French24 vid. Developer claims open source OS for smartphones. No privacy data transfer to Google or Apple, but privacy protection and a smooth experience. There was a 4 month cloudservice disruption, which has been fixed. Also, you can use other cloudsservices ofc, as it’s open.
Anyone good experience with this OS
I had used /e/ as a daily driver for about a year, on one of the officially supported phones (FP3). Installation was easy, and coming from other custom ROMs I remember thinking "wow, this just works!” ;) Didn’t use any of the /e/ services, things worked fine connected to a self-hosted nextcloud.
For a usability I think this is how painless an alternative ROM should be if it wants to reach a wider audience.
You may want to check out this thread from GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114235396540176085 They are technically competing, but their points about lack of support and slow update speeds are still valid.
Tnx! Yes, I’ve heard about this option as being safe. I will also consider it, but as E-os claimed to be "smooth ", that would be great too ofc.
I heard e/os is a lot easier to use than graphene, so keep that in mind
That’s a strange claim considering grapheneOS just feels like standard Android. The main issue with it, if you care about that, is that Gpay doesn’t work.
After reading how Graphene an Murena are fighting over social medial like schoolgirls fighting for a boyfriend, I felt like coming back to Stock OS lol
The /e/ foundation is French too 🇫🇷
Am trying some alt (chat) apps as well atm. Deltachat and Skred. And if you like French, Skred is an option. added:( chat)
