I fully support this work.
I actually use both Lineage and E/OS.
In my experience of installing E/OS on non tech savvy users phones, it takes just a short while for them to get the hang of it.
They of course still want some of the non private data collectors on their phones and thats OK.
I for one am convinvced that the more users we can encourage to move over to alternative android OS's the quicker the word will spread.
We must not forget that these poor people have been brainwashed into thinking there is only one way to access what they like to use and engage with online.
I usually set the E/OS app store to not use open source apps and install droidify to manage those.
It is of course very easy for us who have the knowledge, experience and the confidence to install new OS's on android, but we were once beginners, everyone is.
Its easy for us to know the difference between Fennec and Firefox.
However, Its like me asking you to tell me the difference between the Freudian psychoanalysis and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Its easy for me but not for you.
Even the most tech savvy are difficult to convince:
One of my friends, who used to work for IBM as an engineer back in the day wants to get a new laptop with windows 11. I said "what are you doing you muppet install linux"
He is under the impression that linux has changed very little over 25 years and its all terminal, no GUI or support for things like 3D printers even though I tell him otherwise.
I personally dont use F-droid anymore
I use Droidify which is simpler to use especially adding repositories.
It is a pain adding repo's to F-droid.
