      Other options exist, but not so polished. It’s a tough project that apparently needs more support than small FOSS projects can provide, I’ve seen a lot of promising alternatives come and go.

      Hardware/firmware wise, would really like to see open standards like we have for PC bootloaders. EU requiring nonproprietary bootloaders on phones would be a real step forward.

        For sure GOS is great, but it is still only android fork. Not real independent alternative for duopoly

          It’s confirmed coming to Motorola hardware next year. With more funding and institutional support I’m sure they could assemble a larger pool of devices that meet their requirements

      Just ordered a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS! I hope you’re right! 🤞

      (FYI just in case: SailfishOS is NOT an Android fork! I didn’t realize this until recently.)
