		sakebomb on March 25, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Do you really want Linux phones I am surprised no one in here has mentioned Sailfish OS. It is Linux based. I really enjoy mine. I own it like I own my couch. I highly recommend it for those that are interested like myself. Sure, I do not have the latest phone model, I have it on my Sony XA2 and Cosmo communicator. It has issues with some playstore things, but I also do not care. I can do 90% of what I want on them and the rest I save for my computer. I like the separation.

They still didn't open source the UI itself. But really like their design ideas. Way better than Android.

Something like Plasma Mobile should just use those ideas and make an open UI.
