I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

      /e/os is a security dumpster fire. It’s even worse than stock Android. Stay away from it.

          Every other version of Android gets security updates out within a couple weeks of release at most.

          /e/OS users are lucky if they get them within a couple months.

            No offense, but that’s not what a security dumpster fire is. Security updates are important, of course, but they are also not the biggest deal.

            In fact, I bet that the vast majority of users (on Android or otherwise) are lagging way behind in updates anyway.

            Thanks for the answer. How does it compare against other Android forks in terms of security update speed?

            Also, isn’t Fairphone once also criticised for falling behind on Android security updates or was I misremembering this?
