I installed /e/OS finally on my Fairphone5.
But had some struggle first. It didn't worked and I had to set my phone back with the rollback.
My Question: is it right, that the bootloader remains open?
Because it's not closed, after the install with the easy installer.
@der_tom @e_mydata
As /e/OS is a fork of LineageOS, apparently, the bootloader stays open as well. Nevertheless, there is a list of devices where the bootloader can be relocked- including the FP5 . I never installed /e/OS but found this link. Please have a look at your installing instructions and look for help within /e/ foundation community. My recommendation is not to change anything, unless you are sure to do so.

@der_tom @e_mydata Yes the FP5 is relockable if you install an official version of eos, not the community
Everything is explained here but it is a bit technical
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP5/install
For example with an FP3 but it will be the same for an FP5, when I look for my version in the updater I see I am in an official version, so only this version is relockable on FP5 (and same for FP3, FP4 and some pixel with official version of /e/OS
