From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone still using Sailfish OS ? (sailfishos.org)

I used to run it on my Xperia, and life was good. Then they announced a version for the Xperia 10 III, so I got hyped and bought the device. When the release came out, it lacks so many features and was riddled with bugs, so I never installed it. As of today (4.5.19), it seems the software still lacks basic features (ability to use the 3 cameras), and still has very annoying bugs (must use loidspeaker when in communication to prevent echo).

Am I misinformed ? Is anyone using it daily that could share their experience?

Thanks!

I'm jumping between SFOS and rooted Android on my 10 III. I like SFOS very much, but various bugs on 10 III (echo, bad battery life, the lack of camera2 api, OOM killer killing the browser to often, camera suddenly stops in Android apps, etc.) are stopping me from using it as a daily driver. It's great in theory, but not so good in practice (at least for me).

Ok that was my initial fear, and you just confirmed it. Thanks a lot !
