So I just took the next step on the de-Googling pathway and installed Asteroid OS on my smartwatch.

For the uninitiated, Asteroid OS is an open source alternative operating system that replaces Google’s WearOS: https://asteroidos.org/

And my first impressions are that it’s really nice 😁

So far, I actually like it better than WearOS.

The process for getting it set up was a little fiddly, and it took two attempts to get it right.

That’s as much to do with the fastboot menu on my phone and its tiny text.

I wouldn’t recommend doing it to my great uncle, but it’s easy enough for anyone who knows their way around the terminal in Ubuntu. The instructions were very clear too.
