I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    /e/OS doesnt interest me because its far to iphone(esk) in design. Though i might be able to flash LineageOS instead. I also want nothing to do with Google Play Services or even Micro-G. I even think Micro-G is too much of a compromise and won’t use it. If an app won’t run because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t run that app. If I don’t get notifications because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t get notifications. So be it.

      It’s far too iPhone-esque in design

      “It’s” has the apostrophe because it’s “it” + "is

      “too” has two o’s when there’s an excess of something. More stuff = more o’s!

      “esque” is uh…just how it’s spelt

      iPhone capitalization is just their branding.

      I only commented to help with “esque”, but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!

      I don’t like their default launcher either, it’s indeed very iphon-y. I just installed another launcher and that’s it. It’s essentially Android so that’s no problem. I also disabled microg entirely, which is possible.

      It’s pretty open hardware I’m sure it would be very easy to flash it to Fairphone’s OS
