Thanks! Oh, I forgot to ask about the hardware working in the US? Also, does Lineage force you to make an account somewhere?

I see the Murena, which I think is the same hardware. But their page says the bootloader is locked. Hmm, think that's a no-go. https://murena.com/america/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena...

Right, afaik the Murena offer is the one option to get the Fairphone 6 in the US. I would be very surprised if the bootloader is not unlockable. Bootloader locked is likely meant as something positive: They installed /e/ and then were able to relock the bootloader. You should be able to do the same - but yeah, I would double check that with them before buying, given the price...

Lineage has no account system. /e/ does, optionally.
