Så har jeg endelig modtaget min Sailfish mobiltelefon, som kører Linux og Android apps i simulator-sandbox. Det spiller bare. Under opsætningen blev jeg spurgt om jeg ville bruge Android apps og der var sat et flueben ved Android AppSupport. I bunden kunne jeg så tilføje et flueben ved Aurora Store og F-Droid, hvilket jeg gjorde. Derefter kunne jeg installere Android apps og bruge dem, da jeg lige var blevet fortrolig med at navigere i Sailfish brugerflade. #sailfish #linux #mobiltelefon

First identified friction with #Jolla phone that I'll either need to find an existing workaround for or start making one myself - DPI/zoom. I'm old. Those five icons wide app panels and the extremely tiny text sizes in Android apps where I can't modify it (the only system wide setting is for text in the #Sailfish OS UI) did get problematic as dusk set in yesterday evening. There seem to be community documented dpi settings to modify using the shell but I'd rather look into if there's any issues or work done at system level and maybe hop in.

I have no expectations that there will be lots of native #Sailfish OS applications - just logging those I had some hopes for. No #Nextcloud app No #Proton apps I'll always search for native apps first, followed by seeing if Android apps work if they don't exist.

Btw this was posted via #Sailfish's direct #Mastodon integration. It's really cool to see a phone have that. (Cheers @abranson@mastodon.social and @jolla@techhub.social).

@leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se After beeing in #jolla #sailfish land for 2 weeks and had #eos #murena on #fairphone 6 for 6 months…. I prefer currently #eos mainly for those reasons (now) even when sailfish would be my choice of heart and I will reevaluate in 12 months again … Fairphone 6 with murena 4.0 0) Ux seems currently a bit better on fp6 ( productivity) 1) more often software builds (since they are Android fork) / faster updates 2) all my important apps (password mgr, banking, government) run since 6 months (… lasted 6 months to get them to work) 3) the community seems more professional and less „emotional / hardcore“ 4) nfc payment works What I really liked about sailfish: 0) Less to no ties to the google / apple universe 1) the ui seems more focused and less nagging 2) the hardware of the new Jolla phone at least for me feels much better (even if it is midrange) Bottom line: both worked well, BUT sailfish has some Android app compatibility issues still (can not set a security pin on the app / Android universe… therefore many apps refuse working), if critical apps work I give it another try..

I usually don't post links to commercial websites, but for this I am making an exception. What a quirky product launch. Emotions exploding, at least by northern European standards. I love every second of it and now I am upset I didn't go there!

Jolla and SailfishOS should be much more in public focus. It is a great product and driven by a European mindset. Data protection, privacy, functionality and design (Of course, it's from Scandinavia!). We have a European mobile platform and should use it! And no, modified Androids are not really the answer... We need sovereignty from Big Tech in hardware, software and usability/ecosystem. #jolla #jollaphone #jolla2 #theotherhalf #sailfish #sailfishos https://friprogramvarusyndikatet.tv/w/5J46hvyrarwMitppQLGrGA

One of the nice features of #Jolla's #Sailfish is how they've done context menus. Hold on an item and a menu appears, but you don't need to lift your finger to aim at the menu. Just hold and slide up and down to select the item from the menu. See example below. #UX
