Yes for sure it can go smooth, however really no one can give you a guarantee. At the momemt I would not recommomend the installer. Maybe the person who will help you can read the install guide and decide what they think about it

What is wrong with the installer? Did you mean the latest installer with the WebUSB support?

A safe guide to install /e/OS on your Fairphone

I did it, I installed e/OS on my fairphone 6+ and it works very well. All apps are working well; banking apps and governmental apps have no issues with the degoogled system, just had to lock the bootloader again. Thanks to the ease of the installation procedure and the perfect guide and all the good comments in this community forum. Big thank you to all involved developers, the community and everybody else.

Keep up the great work!
