Nice review! Thanks for that…
I myself have only 2 points that keep me from getting the /e/os version at the moment: android auto & my banking app (KBC)
As I understand, you can’t run android auto because a better name would actually be “Google auto” due to heavy reliance on google services.
For my banking app: I have an old oneplus 3 phone on which I tried it. With /e/os. It has on old rom though, which has a non functioning app lounge. So I installed aurora to install it.
The app worked great and I was able to link my account in the KBC app. But then, after successful auth, I get a message stating I should download the app from the google store…
Not sure if it works on the latest android version and if it makes a difference if I download it through the app lounge.
After posting this, I found: https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/android-auto
It wasnt there last year, but it seems to have been added in the meantime…
