I just installed @murena's :android: /e/OS on a with their free app and God has this become a simple task.

I mean *anybody* with basic computer skills and a compatible phone can get themselves a more -friendly Android with this. 💞

And before you reply Oh they're just stealing from and also use an outdated and there is still connections with Google servers, etc:

Yes, but the OS ships with an auto-updating app store, a free email address plus @nextcloud account, and a fully functioning @microg. This is what non-techies need.

@ilumium Just curious, since the device is a Pixel, what makes you prefer /e/OS over GrapheneOS? There is sandboxed Google Play if you have apps that need Google Play services. You can limit sandboxed Google Play to a secondary profile.

@je5perl To be honest, I never had the chance to try Graphene myself. The Pixel is for a family member and I preferred to set it up with software I know will work for them. If I had a Pixel myself I'd definitely run Graphene.
