Opinions on /e/OS (programming.dev)

Hey people! I was wondering if anyone here has heard of/ used Morena's /e/OS and would be willing to share some opinions?

I was looking to get a FairPhone 5 sometime soon anyways and randomly came across the option to get it "without Google"

Which took me a bit off guard because I never really considered that something like that could be an option (without the hassle of rooting a phone and slapping a custom OS on it). So - is it any good? It says that you can still install most regular Android Apps. I don't think I would miss any specific Google features, and getting a fresh start with a phone does sound nice.

Per their own releases, they includes October's AOSP security patches.

This is pretty good, but still behind GrapheneOS in terms of security.

(I did a quick search, so I could be wrong)

Edit: Oct patches were included on a release from 1 week ago. I have no clue what their history is
