I really wish Sailfish would gain more traction and device support. I really like the UI features and gesture support, it’s revolutionary compared to the big phone OS’s. Unfortunately I can’t run it on any of my current phones.

Did you hear about postmarketOS? It’s basically an ARM Linux that can run desktop apps although GTK apps are well optimized for mobile usage

i feel step 1 should be getting phones to be more open and standardized.

i want to be able to just install stuff like this on my phone without needing some teenager on xda to figure out how to get it booting and working well enough to give it a fair try.

for this reason alone i almost never get excited about phone oses

The phone doesn’t listen into your conversations or read your emails. The company isn’t using your every move to feed machine learning algorithms. You are not the product.

How would the author know? It’s a proprietary operating system.

Aye a sailfish os mention!!
