Android Question /e/OS ?

[johnmie]

I just stumbled over /e/OS at https://e.foundation/e-os/
This is supposed to be a free, degoogelized OS replacement for Android devices.

Does anyone know more about it or has it even tried out?

Is it safe, is it good, is it useful?

Thanks for enlightenment.

How is this related to B4A?

since it is a so-called replacement OS for Android devices, I was wondering if it could also run B4A apps.
But the main questions for you are: A) is it useful and B) do you think it has any future considering that it claims to protect privacy and that Fairphone* already promotes for its devices?
Best, john m.

* Online PC: Fairphone 4 läuft nun auch mit freiem Betriebssystem /e/OS
Neben dem Standard-Android-System können Nutzerinnen und Nutzer ab sofort auch das freie Betriebssystem /e/OS verwenden.

This likely a question for their FAQ or their forums, and the question would simply be "Can /e/OS run Android apps?"

If the answer is yes, then you have the answer to "Can it run B4A apps?"

As for the rest of your questions, I'd recommend starting a thread in Chit Chat.

I just found project Murena /e/ OS on distrowatch and it looks interesting to me. I want to find an old Android phone and see if I can flash to this OS.
