As someone who has been following the progress of /e/OS for a few years and looking for a convenient way to get to try it out, the news that an easy installer is now available for Windows PCs is huge.

With the new /e/OS easy installer, it means I can now get my hands on a compatible smartphone and easily install /e/OS on it using my Windows PC right here. While smartphones that are pre-installed with /e/OS have been shipping for a while, the option to flash the operating system on any of the supported phones has been there too.

But I left the life of flashing years ago. I just don’t have the time or energy for it any more. The option available to me until now was to order an /e/.OS pre-installed phone. An easy installer, like the one just released for Windows, means that there is no need for me to order an /e/OS smartphone from across the Atlantic. I can install the OS on a phone of my choice.

I successfully download the software and installed it on my laptop this evening. The process was smooth and easy. The setup file size is 48 MB only.

All I need now is get my hands on one of the available phones. A Samsung Galaxy S9 will be nice. Why? It is relatively up-to-date in terms of hardware and it is compact enough. I am tired of big phones.

Once I have one, I am proceding to install /e/OS on it and hopefully say goodbye to Google and Apple’s constant monitoring and data mining. I already created my /e/ account a while back in preparation for that day. An /e/ account replicates some of Google’s services, including email, drive, and contacts, calendar, photos, notes, and tasks – without any of the privacy issues.

What /e/OS offers is a smartphone ecosystem that gives you everything you love about Android, including the ability to install 3rd party Android apps, without Google Mobile Services. It is a deGoogled experience.
