What you think about this operating software? Pretty niche still, but if its alright maybe we could take the next step and use a almost open source os?

seems great for a os thats not very popular!
all in all, what would you rate it against android? every app works on adroid right, so its a bit weird to go from there haha.
I like it far more than android mainly for the UI. It’s pretty consistent whereas Android seems to change every version. You get very used to the swiping to hide apps/go back to desktop/close stuff etc and it feels pretty natural rather than having to click that button to show all windows like you usually do in android.
For what it’s worth I don’t generally have any problems with android apps on SFOS and their implementation is pretty solid - It’s basically using LXC (Linux containers) to run the Android apps. It’s also pretty seamless compared to something like Waydroid (Although I can’t comment, I haven’t tried that too much).
I wouldn’t really be able to give a 1/10 per se but I ditched android a while back and don’t think I’ll be returning, if Jolla goes tits up then I would most likely be looking at another Linux phone, maybe Pinephone or something running PostmarketOS.
I think it’s good to view it as Android is something very established with a colossal dev team/manpower whereas something like SFOS or any Linux phone is more of a work-in-progress/labour of love. For that though, I would say Jolla have done an exemplary job and development is still churning along :)
