Toot

I have a fairphone 5 running /e/os, and my previous phone was a galaxy S9+ running IodéOS.

Unfortunately i don’t have time to write a whole review for you, but if anyone have any specific questions about either i’d be happy to answer them when i get time.

Which of the two OS did you like more from a usability standpoint? :o

Sorry for the late response, the thunder app doesn’t give me notifications. 😅

It really depends on your usage.

/e/os feels more polished in general, but widgets are only available in a drawer when you swipe to the left from the home screen and there’s no app drawer, so everything needs to be on your home screen.

And the settings seems more convoluted and hidden, not quite apple like, but a bit less usable than stock android.

Iodé has more of a stock android feel, but i’ve also encountered more bugs in it in general.

Most of my gripes with /e/os could be fixed by installing a different launcher as others in the thread have mentioned. And that would make it the best imo.

As far as banking apps and such i haven’t had any major issues. Only some government apps that require chrome to log in.

So i downloaded chrome, logged in, and removed it again.

I still use google maps and it works flawlessly without login.

I don’t use any social media apps (unless you count lemmy)
