    I’m an /e/os user and all I can say is even though it sucks the least among its competition, it STILL SUCKS! Not to downplay the immense effort put in by the devs and maintainers of course. Providing a privacy-respecting phone OS to ordinary people isn’t just a good deed, it’s necessary for a vibrant and diverse digital society. But still, we can all strive for better.

      By the way, do you know of any other OS except for GrafinoS that does not bundle any MicroG or other tether to Google? I like /e/os, but MicroG bothers me. Can it be uninstalled?

        The complaints I see about custom OS the most:

        • Bank or payment apps don’t work due to Play Integrity API (blame Google)
        • Some other Google apps don’t work correctly (well… duh)
        • Obscure functionality that is usually overlooked or intentionally ignored, but is a complete dealbreaker for that user.

          i never experienced point 2 or 3 in all my years of using them.

          the problem for me is usually integrity api.
