   I am inclined to agree. :kekw2:

     @Zerglingman I tried /e/ on my Galaxy S8, but I did not manage to do it.

     @darth Isn't /e/ just preinstalled rebranded lineage?

     @Zerglingman it's a somewhat customized Lineage, yes. But I am stuck at a certain step half way where I'm supposed to upload something to bootloader.

     @darth That's probably the same for any custom rom then, it'll be an artifact of the fone in question. All I can say is good luck, and buy fairphone next time ツ

     @Zerglingman this one was free, so a fairly good deal even if it stays turned off in its box. 😏

     @Zerglingman @darth

     /e/ comes with its own cloud services, supports a different set of phones than lineage and sells preinstalled refurbished phones. New Fairphones are available with /e/ preinstalled.

     Probably all secure variants of Android are based on Lineage.

     Every(*) OS available for Android hardware is based on AOSP: Gandroid (Google), Harmony (Huawei), Fire (Amazon), Lineage (the only free one). You could start from scratch (AOSP), but that would require years of development.

     (*) AsteroidOS is not based on Android/AOSP but only made for Smartwatches (WearOS or Android type).
