Hey #FediFriends,

Has anyone tried #SailFishOS?

Any thoughts?

Just toying with the idea of getting a mini-laptop-style phone at some point, like a Gemini.

#SailFish #Jolla
#CamelCaseForAccessibility

My "life long" wish of porting #SailfishOS atleast once has been successfully accomplished. Welcome SFOS on the OnePlus 7T Pro.

I still remember talking with @cas back in 2020 when they still maintained their SFOS 3 port for the OnePlus 6 and 6T, just months before they decided going on the next awesome adventure of making both fajita and enchilada possibly the best supported devices for postmarketOS.

Thanks everyone!

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

It's not revolutionary, but it is working! And the idea is it'll form a nice basis for a proper Sailfish OS application in due course.

I am using my @jolla #SailfishOS #Jolla #C2 phone for a few days now as my main daily driver (nearly since the day I have received it) and I need to my #iPhone only for a few things anymore (I am leaving it at home already though).

A more detailed report will come in a few days and I still might come across deal breakers, but so far: While there are a number of unexpected shortcomings, overall the experience so far was a lot better than I had expected.

This is the first #Linux based device I am testing that really seems to have the potential for a lot of people to get rid of #Google and #Apple - if they actually want.
