Following is a short how to for /e/OS Easy : Buy a new phone with /e/OS pre-installed. Super easy, but its not free. Murena has you covered : https://murena.com/ Harder : Use the «easy installer» to guide you. https://e.foundation/installer/ Its a web-app (application in your browser Edge, Opera, Chromium, Chrome and brave browsers only) It will check if your phone is compatible and install /e/OS on it. Hardest: Not only for geeks but beware if you are a novice or ask your friendly local hacker community/computer repair tech that has Linux :) as his/her daily driver. Manually check if your phone is compatible here : https://doc.e.foundation/devices Unlock the boot-loader. Each make has there own way of doing this so use https://search.brave.com/ or https://inv.nadeko.net/ (alternative YT front-end) to understand the process. Then download and flash the files needed to swap out your original android for /e/OS Side-note : /e/OS has a standard camera app that might be disappointing so alternatively install Gcam from following site : https://gcamapk.io/download-gcam-apk/ I use agc 9.6.19 Hope this helps

Hi, good question! I haven't tried it out yet, nether have my friends. So I cant talk about stability, ease of use, speed, battery consumption etc. All I can say is that it only seems to be compatible with a very short list of phones namely Google Pixels. why not buy a secondhand pixel and give it a try https://www.backmarket.com/en-us/search#?q=pixel%204 we could compare notes if you like Regards
