Stap 1 in project “overstappen van IPhone naar Fairphone met /e/OS” is gezet. Ik heb net via Marktplaats een FP4 gekocht.

Daar ga ik dan zelf /e/OS op installeren (hopelijk lukt dat) en die telefoon eerst naast m’n IPhone gebruiken om alles stap voor stap in een rustig tempo te doen.

Ik zal aantekeningen maken als jullie voor me duimen 💛 (best spannend)

@sandradejong leuk project, maar je had eigenlijk voor #grpaheneos moeten kiezen. En dus een Pixel toestel via Marktplaats moet kopen. iOS waar je nu op zit is veiliger dan /e/OS. Waarom? Zie hier: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

#GrapheneOS is safer, but it's also less #userFriendly than #eOS, AFAIK. Plus #eOS looks a little more like #iOS.

@ThePfromtheO @richarddebruin @sandradejong GrapheneOS is very user-friendly. If you need to turn on Google Play Services, it is easily done by just pressing the install button on the built-in app store provided by Graphene.

OK, but why did people say it's not, then?

One thing that reinforced this in my mind is its website. #eOS's for example, shows screenshots of the operating system, while #GrapheneOS's homepage only has one picture, and the rest is text. And I think you understand what kind of impression this leaves…

@ThePfromtheO I also felt intimidated when I saw the website of @GrapheneOS- so much text and everything looks so difficult. It feels as if it is not meant for me.

But when I look at the website of @e_mydata or @iode I feel more reassured that this is something I might be able to do step by step.

What I don't understand is that considering the amount of popularity and sponsorship #GrapheneOS is getting, why didn't it put a little effort into making its website more welcoming? Especially for visitors, who might be potential new users and finally supporters.
