I installed /e/OS finally on my Fairphone5.
But had some struggle first. It didn't worked and I had to set my phone back with the rollback.

My Question: is it right, that the bootloader remains open?
Because it's not closed, after the install with the easy installer.

@anderslund I concur Anders! #e_os has been 'dumbing down' over the years, especially compared to LineageOS it was based on. No more root access, resetting preferences with each update and the annoying GPS permission problem you describe. There is no alternative for my Galaxy S9+ at the moment, but I will be switching to #graphene_os as soon as I can find a decent second-hand Pixel 8.

I have been quite happy with /e/os on my #fairphone #FP3 the last few years - but it is beginning to deteriorate lately, with more and more apps not being able to run. #mobilepay for one, but now also #garmin #navionics #boating - since last update it will not show my location, it keeps asking for permission - which it already have. I can downgrade for now, but it is not really a viable solution I believe. So what to do? I really dislike the idea of having to install #googleplay services :(

I believe we really need an alternative #mobile os. A truely google free android would be fine with me for now, while a more navtive #linux becomes feasible and commercial/public app providers realizes that there is a need for #flatpak releases.

Meanwhile, could #e_os (#microG) be fixed somehow?

UPDATE: downgrading to version 2.22 of garmin boating fixed the issue for now.

Il y a quelques années, j'avais tenté une installation de e/OS sur un smartphone. J'avais été refroidi par une fonction photo rendue impossible par une ou des applis qui mettaient plusieurs (trop) longues secondes à s'initialiser, et gelaient régulièrement. Pour moi, c'était bloquant, et je n'avais pas persévéré.

Quelqu'un par ici aurait des retours d'usage sur e/OS aujourd'hui ? Si les retours sont bons, notamment sur l'usage photo, je retenterais bien.

Merci d'avance !

The linux desktop fight, which I actually thought had come to an end ;)

I used linux since #kde 1.1, allmost 30 years, and KDE most of that time, all though I did try Gnome and some other window managers from time to time. Countless Linux distros.

I have phone running #postmarketos with #plasmamobile, not really usable yet, though slowly improving. My best bid for a google/ios free mobile os usable in a foreseeable future would be #lineageos based, probably like #e_OS, with a not-google-run app store. Such a system would need a business model and economics to run, it does cost money.
My daily phone (#fairphone fp 3 with /e/os) is running quite well, but there is a long way for a setup that is usable by the masses, and the monopolists are bullies, like their unfortunate president.

We need to join forces :)

Nogle danske brugere af e/os/ herinde? Jeg har et problem med #mobilepay, jeg kan ikke logge på - det går galt efter indtastning af mit-id-nøgle-kode.
Jeg kan i øvrigt logge på andre sites med mit-id, både med duckduckgo og firefox, men jeg tror mobilepay bruger den indbyggede browser.

Min telefon er en #fairphone #FP3, OS er #e_os 2.7-t-20250111460957-official-FP3.

Hvis nogen har det lignende setup hvor mobilepay virker, er jeg interesseret i oplysninger.

OPDATERING:
Min mistanke retter sig mod 'browser' appen, jeg kan ikke logge på e-boks med den, samme fejl. #efoundation we need an update!
