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

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

How do you do if you need for work to use Google products? I would love to use alternative OS, but I cannot because of my job

Google services are not installed by default but you can install the play store and other google apps from the built in app store if you need them. The only thing I am lacking from stock is google pay because I haven’t installed any google services but I’m fine with that trade off.
The built-in anti tracking and privacy features a very nice

Lineage OS can work with Google services. Probably others too. But beware that unlocking the bootloader to install anything may disable some security

You unlock during the e os install but it makes you relock after. Not aware of any additional security issues using this process

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.
