Levente Krisztián Büte<p>Finally, I'm in the testing phase of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Murena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Murena</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/eOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eOS</span></a> to ditch <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> and the rest of US <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> </p><p>As I mentioned before, right now I just bought a cheap testing device. If everything goes well without major hiccups, I'll switch to a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fairphone</span></a> (gen 6), especially because the white one looks like the Pixel 3 and I always wanted one of those.</p><p>Anyway, for now I chose a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CMF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CMF</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Phone1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Phone1</span></a>, which is one of the devices Murena sells, too. The manual ROM flashing had some problems (as it turns out, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows11</span></a> is indeed a piece of crap, so I had to install temporarily <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Windows10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows10</span></a>, so my phone could be recognised by my browser for the web installer), but in the end, I succeeded. For now my biggest problem is the finger print sensor; both setting it up and using it is kinda annoying and buggy.</p><p>The performance could be better, but it's acceptable. OpenCamera is the least user-friendly mess I've ever seen. The colours of the display are killing my eyes even when it's set to the natural profile.</p><p>But aside of these, I started replacing most of my apps and services with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/European" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>European</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> and so far... IT'S NOT BAD! If I use my watch for payment (and I'll keep my Samsung phone to maintain Google stuff sometimes), the rest is kinda easy!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DigitalSovereignity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignity</span></a> is very viable so far, with some asterisks. Needs further evaluation.</p>
