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).
I’ve used e/OS for two years. I don’t like the interface, it’s like iOS and I can’t see what people like in it. It’s hardly customisable. A lot of apps didn’t work back then (I think I tried it last 4 years ago). I’m back to LineageOS.
Couldn’t you just have install another app launcher instead of the default one provided by /e/OS nammed Bliss ?
Not op, but that is possible. Personally however after trying a few launchers I realised that the default one wasn’t even that bad, only a bit messy with all the apps organised somewhere on the homescreen
