Thanks for your work on keeping up maintenance of the Fairphone 2! And of having made Fairphone Open available on it; I know usage is probably not high enough to make it happen for the Fairphone 3, but with Fairphone Open available I had no reason at all to consider Lineage, and the peace of mind it gives me is way beyond what I expected when I first installed it.

Thank you for your kind words.

It is true that we do not have an Open alternative for Fairphone 3 yet. I don't know if we will ever release one. However, I truly believe that the cooperation with the /e/ foundation [1] gives our users an even better option. /e/ do a much better job at providing a good open source OS than we could ever do because for us it always was and would be a side project.

Yep, I was a little worried about the /e/ account and all that, but after reading someone else's account here, that sounds like it might fulfil the same goal for me, so that's something to look forward to.

But only after my FP2 dies, of course. Which hopefully won't be anytime soon.
