How does Murena's custom /e/OS compare to Google's Android? - my answer on Quora (www.quora.com)

An introduction for normal people looking for an easy way to avoid U.S.American and Chinese software and hardware on their phones. "Easy" seems to be important to Murena, which /e/OS delivers - I dare to recommend it for beginners.

I've been using /e/OS for 1.5 years as a lazy enthusiast and hobbyist with previous experience with various Linuxes, Android, and CyanogenMod (predecessor of LineageOS). I have set up GrapheneOS once. I will probably try CalyxOS when I get around to it.

The answer is hidden from Quora's question page - I quess they hid it because the links triggered their bots to assume it's spam. A few upvotes could bring it up and maybe into people's feeds.

I've been using e/os for about a year now. Besides when you first set up the phone when it asks if you want to log in to a murena account, I have not seen anything else in the phone about it. Everything works like normal. Even seedvault with whatever source you set up. In my car, my NAS.

I can second this. Same experience, however if you do make a free account simple things like your contacts can be backed up. Or calendar, or the whole phone. It's all up to you.
