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.

    Yeah. I love the idea of the easy installer. Mine isn’t listed either.

      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

              Thats still better than using /e/. Just download the one without MicroG
