The new Linux phone from Jolla & its benefits? ⛵ linux

◉Sailfish OS - the only independent commercial mobile OS
◉Sailfish is NOT 100% closed source - Jolla plans to open the remaining blobs
◉More "Linuxy" than Android; Qt / Wayland / filesystem
◉Free of Google / Apple
◉Use Android compatibility in case an android app is needed
◉Jolla is a Finnish company - 🇫🇮 / 🇮🇸 are considered most trustworthy nations in Europe

@Linux
And what is with that subscription model? That sounds mandatory. Isn't it?

@Linux I don't mind a subscription at all, it's a solid way to keep developers employed. What I do have a problem with is the proprietary parts (which is more than AOSP!). Yeah they promise to open-source it, but they have since the beginning and I still don't see it.

I had the first Jolla Phone for 4 years and even back then there was "the promise". I'm still waiting.

@Linux Nothing is 100% closed source these days. And Jolla was more closed-source than just the blobs. Try not to mislead people.

@pavel

Just like you said: "Was". And Jolla has plans to open yet more.

Even Canonical's Launchpad was not open originally... thinkhappy
