@jeanjean @SigmaOne@toot.party @murena I had my reservations about their App Store but it looks like they’ve made improvements (see https://nervuri.net/e/app-lounge) so, yeah, that’s a good alternative to have.
And there’s no reason (beyond wanting more sales) that FairPhone cannot do that themselves instead of continuing to legitimise Google and surveillance capitalism. But I guess it’s better to have your cake and eat it too.

Maybe they would struggle to have any market impact sustainability and (resource) ethics-wise if nobody bought their phones because they can't run the play store.
They're trying to end labour exploitation specifically aren't they - make the production of mobile hardware more ethical. A case of different priorities. But it's a fair criticism.

I have been using /e/os now for almost a year as my daily driver (on a Oneplus 7 Pro) and it is a really solid solution for me. As long as Chromecasting and AndroidAuto is not important to you (and it shouldn't, given the #surveillance) please do consider it as well. I am always shocked about the amount of Google (spyware) presence when I revert to a 'normal' Android phone.
#Fairphone5 with /e/os is definitely on my shortlist when my current phone dies.
