available with /e/OS too https://shop.fairphone.com/the-fairphone-gen-6-e-operating-s...

As I near the eol of my daily driver, I'm considering a Fairphone, but what it's missing is a folding card holder, like the Satechi wallet stand for iPhone. Putting the phone in horizontal mode on a table and using a bt keyboard is how I do a lot of my writing

I'm actually interested on this. Has anyone used previous Fairphones with /e/os? ¿How painless is the experience?

I've used it on both my previous phone (Fairphone 2) and now on the Fairphone 4. It's very painless, their installer is easy to use. The caveat here is that my most-used app is Firefox, and I don't use banking apps or Chromecast, which people seem to be worried about often.

Thanks for the answer. I finally ordered the Fairphone 6 with /e/os. I hope I do not regret this decision.

I hope so too! The fallback is switching back to regular Android. If /e/OS doesn't work well enough for you, it wouldn't work well enough on other phones either, so in that sense this purchase isn't a waste.
