I use lawnchair as a replacement of the launcher from /e/OS. It is fast and customisable and has a more android type look. Fossify could be another option, maybe lighter than lawnchair.
The original one is smooth, but I do not like IOS launcher and icons type.
I use /e/OS on my OP7.
For the drawbacks :
It’s all I have in mind at this moment.
When I’ll change for a fairphone, before turning to /e/OS, I’ll probably try iodé OS. It seems they have similar privacy /anti-ad features but the OS might be less bloated and the system app are not rebranded, they keep their original name and icons.
Go to settings;
type "build number " in the search bar;
click on the build number until you’re a dev.
Go into developer options;
type “background process limit”;
Choose the maximum number of applications you want to have in background.
Profit

QKsms premium features are free if downloaded from f-droid.
I use “simple dialer” and “simple contacts”. “Simple” applications usually work well, and their pro versions are available for free on f-droid.
So… I believe I’m old now…

Starfield works on linux since day one… If you have an AMD graphic card. I’ve seen that it’s more complicated on Nvidia.
I put in my previous message one of the most important reason, if not the most important, why it is difficult to have good data about the mask efficiency. Here it is again : Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies. If you can not trust the people you use as data, you can not trust your results, and for something as trivial as wearing a mask, we have seen that people cannot be trusted… So, how can you produce proof that masks work ?
Yes surgical masks are effective. Not 100%, but they have a good efficiency to prevent people to spread the desease. They stop the biggest dropplets when you speak or cought, no debate. They also stop smaller particles because of the electrostatic effects and the diffusion effects. Also, the mask mesh doesn’t look like a football net. It’s more like a dense forest. Adding to that the fact than small particles don’t move in straight lines ( brownian movement ), it makes the surgical masks have a non neglectible efficency.
The main reasons surgical masks are recommended above the others (n95/p2),are that other masks are more disturbing to wear and they cost more than surgical masks.
"Our confidence in these results is generally low to moderate for the subjective outcomes related to respiratory illness, but moderate for the more precisely defined laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infection, related to masks and N95/P2 respirators. The results might change when further evidence becomes available. Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies. "
Yeah… They are not really confident about their results… You can find studies that show effectiveness of the mask in a few clics : https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/egcenter-discussion-paper-series/1086/
Soooo, I will continue to think that the mask is effective against viruses spreading by air. Knowing that n95/P2 masks protect mostly the person who wear them and surgical masks protect mostly people from the wearer.
