| SailfishOS is quite polished, and there's an Android emulation API. Lots of common applications, including many banking ones, run without a problem. It's a chicken-egg issue. The last 10% of polish won't be done till a critical mass of users adopt the platform, and vice versa. |

| Power management and cameras are working and stable on (non-Android) Linux phones? Which ones? |

| Exactly. The kernel more or less doesn't matter, it's "the stuff on top." |

| ▲ | shaky-carrousel 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I smell a "no true Scottman" here. Because people always say "common people do what I say" and when someone says "hey, I am common people and I disagree", the same people usually answer "well, then you're not common _enough_". Which is a huge fallacy. | | |

My statement is based on 25 year as an IT professional where I migrated people and businesses from Windows to Linux, from iOS to Android, from old Unixes to Windows/Linux and the list goes on. Just give to people the apps they need or want and the rest is easily managed. |
