I always wanted to try Sailfish, but I don’t think I have any hardware for it
I believe there are community editions that add support for more hardware than just Sony’s and Jolla’s, but I’ve never tried them. I loved it on my Xperia X, then XA2 though.
I’ll have to keep that in mind for my next purchase
You will have much better luck looking for a device supporting Ubuntu Touch though. And contrary to SailfishOS, UT is fully open-source.
I’m running this as my daily XA2 and personally it’s my favourite os to use due to its thumb-driven user interface, which is something that was carried over from Meego/Nokia N9.
Native app list is not great, but the android vm works sweet as for the ones that are needed.
Very nice. It looks good! I’m a bit confused on what it is. I guess it’s similar to ubuntu touch in some ways, but it has a lot of proprietary software. I think it’s really cool but idk what the advantage is.
/e I don’t mean this in any way as me hating on it I just really don’t know what’s going on with this
It started out as a continuation of Maemo from the old Gnu/Linux running Nokia devices (N900 etc) by some of the same people after Nokia sold their Smartphone business to Microsoft.
The underlying software-stack is mostly open-source, but despite original promises the UI never got released as open-source, and by now it has become highly unlikely it ever will as company priorities shifted.
I notice the ui looks a bit like the old microsoft ui in devices like the zune. Is that related to them being sold to microsoft at all? or is it just coincidental
Coincidence I guess, the sale to Microsoft was what caused them to leave Nokia and start Jolla/SailfishOS so if anything the opposite should be true.
okay thanks
What is about https://maemo-leste.github.io/ ?
This is an unrelated project that came up later. Probably partially motivated by the frustration with the failure of Jolla to open up their UI code as promised.

Then it is related jajajajajajajaja.
