this is my #1 complaint as well. These OSs must be easy to install and reliable. Having parts of the OS crash, dealing with the terminal, using ADB over USB... all of that makes zero sense to the average person or someone pressed for time. I now want my phone to work and that is why i use iOS. Having to replace the OS on your phone is already a step too far for most. The install instructions here require using the terminal and typing commands - not going to happen for most people. IMHO, the easiest path to adoption is to have a hardware manufacturer put this OS on their phones. No installation required.

  Relax, OP is just reaching for whatever rationalization they can get to continue sucking on Apple's tit.

      What is shitty is this attitude of accepting the "solutions" sold by Big Tech and finding fault at whatever minuscule issue with the free alternatives. What is shitty is being on HackerNews and seeing (presumably tech-savvy) people more worried about the product's name and "marketing" instead of discussing the system on its technical merits. Or seeing comments like yours that think that privacy is something that only concerns a "small bubble". That is just not shitty, it is profoundly depressing.

/e/ has partnerships with Fairphone and Teraphone to sell versions of their phones with /e/ preloaded. /e/'s sister company Murena produced its own phone (the Murena One) and they also sell refurbished Galaxy S9/S9+ phones preloaded with /e/: https://murena.com/products/smartphones/ https://murena.com/products/smartphones/ No terminal/ADB needed, and in my experience, /e/ is not crashy.
