/e/OS - Murena Smartphones (monero.town)

Your data is YOUR data!

An iPhone or an Android smartphone collects several megabytes of your personal data every day to Google Servers, even when it is inactive.

Murena smartphones have been designed to offer a different approach to users who care about privacy and data-hungry handsets.

Those smartphones are running the open-source “/e/OS” operating system, which is fully “deGoogled”: by default it doesn’t send any data to Google and it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience.

/e/OS is paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your Murena smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.

I've been using it for like 3 years now on my Fairphone FP3(somewhat-plus)

It's pretty usable.

But damn! That name is ridiculously bad.

They took "de-googled" so far that you can't even "google" the project by it's name. /s

It's by far the worst part of the project. Any time you have a problem - however minimal - you have to search specifically in the community forum because there's just no way in hell including /e/OS in the search terms is going to help you find anything useful at all.

Of course you can search for just "eos" alone, but when trying to troubleshoot specific issues it gets much more complicated. Believe me, I've been there.

Such as this issue, which I eventually found a solution to on the e/OS/ forums:

The results have very little to do with /e/.

I never googled it - but that's no surprise.
