I think that if we want to be free from google and apple duopoly on mobile we need to embrace linux phones. It is the only solution. Google is trying to close the golden cage slowly and we need to escape on other operating system also on mobile. We re only delay a problem. We need phone preinstalled with linux for mass adoption. We need more apps for linux phones and more userbase.

yeah good alternative, but you need to subscribe to use salfish?

@goldkiddo dunno if opensource community version, but indeed with Jollaphone you need account to get updates 🙁

And, yes, for me Jolla Phone is only step while waiting really working Linux phone. I've been tested PinePhone which worked somehow, but was slow and all ways poor quality hardware. I have also PinePhone Pro, but it's expensive joke. There's no phone where PostmarketOS runs so good it can be use daily and mainly (only phone). Bank apps are mandatory, so also somehow working camera and bluetooth. Other Applicationa I've been tested I can replase easily with Linux natives. I've been thinkind many times, apps are great. Both Phosh and Plasma Mobile (my favor!) are great. But... No working hardware 🙁

And what s your experienxe with Salfishos? Banks app works? Also other apps?

@goldkiddo works, well! Everything I need and tried works better than they did on OnePlus 3 nord which I had before. I've been used over month now JollaPhone2026 only.
