The Sailfish OS phones are in some use, and they've been running full blown linux since 2013.


Using a Sailfish OS phone since 2013 - just saying. ;-)


Right, used 2 of them as my primary phone between 2015 and 2024 when the hardware broke not many weeks ago. Just recently ordered their new one, which is a bit cheaper than this Furi. Admittedly a risk purchase because not much is known about it yet.

Also typing this on the ultra-cheap hardware made for the Indian market nearly a decade ago. Well, admittedly they have already announced to discontinue support and I never dared to carry it as my primary phone.

Now the last weeks I was forced to use Android as my primary phone. Really a suprise what crappy piecemeal Android is compared to SailfishOS made by a tiny company struggling economically forever.
