Finally, I'm in the testing phase of #Murena #eOS to ditch #Google and the rest of US #BigTech
As I mentioned before, right now I just bought a cheap testing device. If everything goes well without major hiccups, I'll switch to a #Fairphone (gen 6), especially because the white one looks like the Pixel 3 and I always wanted one of those.
Anyway, for now I chose a #CMF #Phone1, which is one of the devices Murena sells, too. The manual ROM flashing had some problems (as it turns out, #Windows11 is indeed a piece of crap, so I had to install temporarily #Windows10, so my phone could be recognised by my browser for the web installer), but in the end, I succeeded. For now my biggest problem is the finger print sensor; both setting it up and using it is kinda annoying and buggy.
The performance could be better, but it's acceptable. OpenCamera is the least user-friendly mess I've ever seen. The colours of the display are killing my eyes even when it's set to the natural profile.
But aside of these, I started replacing most of my apps and services with #European #tech and so far... IT'S NOT BAD! If I use my watch for payment (and I'll keep my Samsung phone to maintain Google stuff sometimes), the rest is kinda easy!
#Privacy and #DigitalSovereignity is very viable so far, with some asterisks. Needs further evaluation.
