/e/OS is clearly better than DivestOS in term of user experience and "deGoogling".

getupstandup1 writes: This will probably the first fully "ungoogled" Android-based smartphone to hit the market ever: the /e/ smartphone will start to ship in June, on high-grade refurbished smartphones. While more and more people are concerned about privacy, it's interesting to see such initiative, especially considering that it was started by someone who is coming from the Linux distro world.

This project makes much more sense to me: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fe.foundation%2F And is compatible with any Android app. And it won't be purchased by Google like KaiOS will probably be (Google invested several millions in KaiOS)

Submission + - New project "eelo": leaving Apple and Google created by Mandrake Linux creator

Submitted by nuand999 on Friday December 22, 2017 @11:11AM

nuand999 writes: Open-source veteran Gaël Duval, who created Mandrake Linux, wants to leave Apple and Google. So he's creating a non-profit project eelo.io that is going to release "privacy-friendly" smartphones and associated web-services. "I realized that I had become lazy. Not only I wasn’t using Linux anymore as my main operating system but I was using a proprietary OS on my smartphone. And I was using Google more and more." eelo is going to be forked fromLineageOS, and will ship with existing open source bricks put together into a consistent and privacy-enhanced, yet desirable, smartphone OS + web-service. A crowdfunding campaign has just started on Kickstarter to fuel early developments.

It's interesting because it's not using Xen or Vmware, but the coLinux patch, which they claim allows the system to achieve "great performance, close to a native installation on the PC." No need to reboot the system anymore to switch from Windows to Linux..."
