@cibersheep Very good to hear! Thank you for the responses. I somehow feel that in Mastodon the conversations are much nicer than on some other social medias.

One and final question, how did you find UT so early on?! It's amazing that you have been using it for over decade now!

@cibersheep I think Sailfish currently has same GPS problem after Mozilla stopped supporting their services. They are planning to implement something else to mitigate that, but haven't heard about it in a while. And probably Jolla is quite busy with new phone so might be that we need to wait a little bit longer to get improvements on that front.

Have you had to do workarounds with basic functions or has it always been something more "special"?

@cibersheep Definitely agree that there seem to be a lot of false claims and trash talk related to alternative OSs.

As a tech noob I don't think I would need flatpack support, but I have seen it requested regularly at Sailfish forum. Apparently it has worked at some point which frustrates people more idk.

@cibersheep Oh boy UT is much further in that front! I have really missed webpage front for Jolla store... A little hard to check beforehand what apps can be found from Jolla store and what need to be got from open repos or Chum. Those have webpage front end but some apps can be in all three... Definitely one thing that should be improved in Sailfish

@cibersheep Sailfish also has problems with up to date browser... It seems to be quite a big job and problem, didn't know UT is fighting with same one :/ Good browser allows to do so many things, might be even the most critical app in the phone.

Good to hear that UT can fulfil all of those tasks! Kind of sounds that UT fulfil 90% of everyones use cases with those. Glad that there is options out there :) Do you need to do "workarounds" a lot with the system?

@cibersheep What I have understood is that for example Pure maps (etc. apps) is ported from Sailfish to UT but don't know for sure. Hopefully there could be more co-operation also in app front anyway! Any co-operation is plus :)

Huh, haven't heard that one before that UT would be more mature, but as I don't have any experience can't say. Might be usecase thing as you said. For example to my understanding Sailfish doesn't support flatpacks, maybe UT does and someones need that?

@cibersheep That has come up when I have done research! What I have read has been that it is not quite as mature as Sailfish and that the app ecosystem is even smaller (+popular apps are ported from Sailfish?)

But I am interested to hear what has been your first hand experience with it? Are you using waydroid on it and if so how has it worked? Are you keeping it online all the time and if so how is the battery life?

I believe that #UbuntuTouch and #Jolla could benefit from closer co-operation!

@BuyFromEU My next phone will definitely be the #Jolla phone. I want as European mobile phone as possible and in my head that also includes operating system. To my understanding there is only one mature enough independent European operating system available, #sailfishOS which comes out of box with Jolla phone.

To be fair my understanding is that Volla also supports #SailfishOS out of box, but it isn't done in co-operation with Jolla so it doesn't have AAS. Hopefully soon!
