- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

Uh even this short stab is quite wrong. Here notes from Jolla itself for Sailfish OS 5.2
The base of Sailfish OS is a full blown Linux, way more open than Android (mire option for the user, less secure than Graphene, which has that as main goal) you can easily install/compile linux software on it.
Close source components are used. Parts of the UI (Jolla is open sourcing more and more), libhybris to run closed source Android drivers, Android App Support.
So yes its not as open source as debian, but offers more freedom to modify the OS than Graphene and gives you near full control.
So basically no need to outrage?
Also not got mine yet in batch 1.
I'm in batch 2, so I guess I'll be waiting for a while still.
It may be a private phone, but you don't really know whats going on under those proprietary blobs.
Sailfish OS is the definition of proprietary software. You need to buy a subscription if you even want to install it on third party devices.
It's like Windows but it claims to be private and commnunity driven while not providing the source code to the entire OS. It's a little misleading to me
