I at least hope they would put effort to non Android OS. Why put effort to Android OS if most people would like get rid of USA dependency? I would love them to offer support for SailfishOS, which can still run Android apps in container and most of them work, including a lot of banking apps
I wantnto say thst i really really like the way SailfishOS looks, those gnome icons are unmatched in phones.
I just don’t think Sailfish OS is ready for daily use at all. Like, it needs a few more years in the oven before it can be even considered for mass consumption. These small companies unfortunately need to play it safe.
Yes Android is US-based but it’s also open-source. Doesn’t mean that fact can’t change of course, but I don’t see better EU alternatives ATM.
Indeed.
This phone is so niche that the only OS that it only makes sense to work in being compatible with GrapheneOS, the crème de la crème of custom OSes.
I’d just ship from Pixel immediately if Fairphone ups their game to the point GrapheneOS wants to work with them.

“Most of them work” is a far cry from “all of them work perfectly as if they were running on Android itself”.
Lets turn the sentence around, and see how it feels: “Some apps won’t work at all”. Very scary sentence for consumers with different expectations.
