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.

    Their easy installer is why many people I know installed it, but it only supports 21 devices and mine wasn’t one of them, so I can’t say much about usability or security. If yours is one of them, there’s also a Linux guide on their website: https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer

        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
