De-americanising mobile phones

I am once again thinking of de-Americanising my phone.

Fairphone 5 is available on /e/os.

Fairphone is Dutch and /e/os is made by Murena, a French Company.

Aside from needing for example WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family, this could be a totally US-free environment.

Switching from Apple is hard by design, a process I’m not looking forward to.

Has anyone attempted to do anything like this? How is the Fairphone 5 running /e/os? Is it logical for someone use to Apple?

Thanks in advance!
