Anything's possible with a phone you can unlock to it's root - even starting with compiling a new kernel, as long as there are drivers, but why? UI too confusing? Anyway, I don't think anyone has done that, at least not yet, but I've heard nemomobile installed on this piece, that one looks nice, but is still missing features

EDIT: There's been a try with Ubuntu Touch, ending running out of space, and Ubuntu Phone, ending running into outdated droid version. You can ask here for any updates: https://together.jolla.com/question/37605/alternate-ui-possibilities/ (thanks @locusf, and thanks for your comment @tathhu )

If getting into it, please note:

Our warranty does not cover issues arising from using unauthorized software on the device. If installing the alternative OS causes problems with the hardware, these are not covered by the warranty even if it happens during the warranty period. The user would likely also lose the benefit of their statutory rights to have errors repaired. In other words, anyone trying this would do it at their own risk, we can’t be responsible for the outcome nor can we publicly encourage people to do this.
