I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

      I love the idea of the easy installer.

      looks at GrapheneOS installer… Literally just 3 buttons on a Website you have to click, all of the steps easily written with clear instructions for Linux as well as windows

      looks at /e/ installer

      • finds 5 Websites with installers for /e/, all of them apparantly official ones, decided to use https://e.foundation/installer/
      • Site dosent let you view this instructions without JavaScript.
      • enabled JS
      • Cant even use fcking Firefox to view this installer because a fcking pop-up Blocks my sight
      • goddamn privacy oriented Android Rom Website recommends using Microsoft edge or Opera (both of which are privacy nightmares, especially opera)
      • smashes pillow against the wall

      I give up. If you call that bloated peace of dierrhea an „Easy installer”, you could just as well say that gentoo is easier to install than mint.

        I know that GrapheneOS is really easy to install. Problem is that I don’t have a Pixel.

          My Problem is not that you dont have a Pixel, but that /e/ 's Website is literal dogpoop, and that already tells a lot about their OS. Like, they are in a literal conflict to support other, maybe even more privacy friendly backup for cloud systems because the already have their own

          Does your phone support anything else? LOS, Calyx, etc
