Very interested in repair but I also want software freedom, and I've not heard anything about avoiding proprietary drivers/software.

I run /e/ OS on my FP4, super easy install. Been loving it.

I would love to use /e/ but I couldn't get it to install. It seemed my phone was the wrong version of the phone it was. Like a revision 1.01 kind of situation. They should also change the project name, it'll be killing their SEO.

That's a shame, are you talking about a fair phone? I was not aware there could be versioning issues, I thought the hardware was unchanged per model.

I am not talking about a fair phone
