I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S9 to a new release of the deGoogled /e/OS operating system. This new release also included upgrade of Android version to 12. If I had stayed on Google-Samsung-Android it had still been on Android 10 without even security updates. Thanks to /e/OS, and LineageOS in behind, I get Android security updates as well! #eos #android #degoogled #lineage #mobile #opensource

How hard was it to do? I have tried to install postmarket OS and failed, I have tried to install Ubuntu Touch and failed, and I have tried to install Calyx OS and succeeded, all on a Pixel 3a XL. Actually that Ubuntu Touch installation succeeded in installing, just would only boot to a restore screen. Calyx was pretty good but not really a complete solution like /e/ is supposed to be.
@zaivala My model (exact model must be checked, not all eg chipset variants may be supported) is supported by their "Easy installer" tool. I couldn't get it working on Linux nor Windows, but I got the installer working on macOS - don't ask me why. Once the Easy installer was working, the installation was easy. And every new /e/OS release has worked fine for me, incl those with Android version upgrades.
