I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

Every other version of Android gets security updates out within a couple weeks of release at most.

/e/OS users are lucky if they get them within a couple months.

No offense, but that's not what a security dumpster fire is. Security updates are important, of course, but they are also not the biggest deal.

In fact, I bet that the vast majority of users (on Android or otherwise) are lagging way behind in updates anyway.
