          Sad to read this from an actually good usable Linux phone… (JollaPhone)

            If I recall, that one still required some closed source binary blobs to work. Other than that, the UX is probably as good as it’s going to get. The other half of the problem is the world that decided to get addicted to Android and iOS. Anything that isn’t either of the two is going to have a hard time in a world like this.

              yeah i know, but for me basically everything just about works. Banking apps included. They just install as normal thanks to Android App Support and work just fine. I dont even need microG for anything 🥳 About the closed source bits -> this is true. Parts of lipstick are not opensource, but i think its fine in that case. they are opensourcing the whole stack bit by bit though. Jolla isnt a big corpo either with 50ppl and I think there are more important things with the OS that need attention.
