I recently got an e-mail from Fairphone that they will be ending support for Fairphone 3(+) in a couple of months and I’m thinking about getting a replacement with /e/OS installed on it instead of Android.
All the independent information I can find seems to be from two or three years ago, so I was wondering if anyone with recent experience or knowledge has any thoughts about it?
I’m not interested in recommendations for other operating systems as I’m only considering switching from Android because there is an option for it to come pre-installed on the latest Fairphone with the bootloader locked, which may solve a few headaches. I’d just like to know if /e/OS has any gotchas to be aware of and if Ecorp/Esolutions/Murena are considered to be reputable (i.e. they’re not going to steal my data).
Agree,also Fairphone is a very good solution. Maps have a lot of alternatve solutions, more now as Google discontinued it’s Streetview feature, the only thing not present in other maps. Most other Google services have also pretty good alternatives, also linkeable Android Smartwatches have it (e/OS is normally good compatible with Android aps, exept maybe limited with Google ones, due to the lack of corresponding APIs)
