How does sailfish OS compare to Graphene? Is it just as private and secure?

[–] PennyRoyal 26 points 1 month ago

Not sure, but it mentions a free first year of sailfish subscription, and having to subscribe to an OS doesn’t fill me with joy

It is a full Linux stack. It is not Android. It has its own set of apps. Written in Qt with C++ (mostly) and their own UI framework, Silica. It can run Android apps through a layer similar to Waydroid.

Nowhere near grapheneOS, sadly. There are some videos on how it works, and as it stands it lacks basic functionality.

Plus, I don't know why they'd want to use the awful Sony phones as base.
