Hello fedicrowd! Does anyone have the #Fairphone 6 with murena e/os? If so, can you share compatibility issues you encountered? I'm eager to ditch Android and would like to anticipate which troubles may lie ahead. :)

Liebe Schwarmintelligenz, hat hier jemand das #Fairphone6 mit #murena #e/os und Erfahrungsberichte bzw Kompatibilitätsproblemen? Ich will wechseln und wissen welche Schwierigkeiten mich eventuell erwarten. :)

I used /e/OS before but don't currently, but here are my experiences, hope this helps:

1. Google Pay/Google Wallet is a lost cause, accept having to bring your bank card when leaving the house.
2. Anything you can find in IzzyOnDroid or F-Droid will work fine. I strongly recommend installing an F-Droid client: izzyondroid.org/quickstart/, you can already get used to some apps :)
3. Most apps will work fine but not all. Try Sapio and Plexus to see compat info. Mostly banking apps are a pain.

I think you do need to go in with a mindset and willingness to compromise sometimes. If you go in with the idea of "I can run anything I randomly download from Google Play" you will be disappointed. But if your general way of using your phone is "as little apps as possible" it may be fairly pain-free, especially if you prioritize apps from IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid.

May be worth making a list of apps you really aren't willing to lose and ask other /e/OS users specifically about those apps.

@SylvieLorxu Thanks a lot for your thoughts and the insights! I fully agree about the mindset. I also see it as an opportunity to declutter and/or widely review and replace what I've been using with FOSS apps. My only real need is the bare minimum for digital participation (public transport :v24:, banking seems to have mixed support for my banks 🫣, eID, etc), I'll celebrate everything beyond this as a nice add on

I sadly can't say much useful about public transport (I drive, sorry) although I do know a few people use my app Catima together with https://zügli.app/ for their Deutschlandticket (though it's broken in 2.41.0 - 2.41.3, version 2.41.4 with the fix isn't available everywhere yet).

Banking is very inconsistent yeah, depends on the bank. eID depends per country, though I think Germany is covered? f-droid.org/en/packages/com.go…

Hope some more Germans can fill in my missing knowledge :)
