Revision history [back]

Hello all,

just wanted to give my 2 cents about what I am discovering of sailfish os.

I am coming from the android world and installed the 1st community build of sailfish os on my new Fairphone 2 because I felt like a lot of the fairphone community was talking about it.

I have to say after a few minutes of not-knowing-how to do things, it feels quite nice to use.

a few things that I noted:

• Please, android support; the jolla store is just far too small, only one email app or 2 browsers feels very limited (+no small local apps). I would even think that if you offer sailfish to fairphone users without it, most of them won't use it more than a few days... I still haven't found a decent gps app.

• No app permissions ? I don't see much about this, but... am I giving access to all my data to all the apps I install through the store, most of them being developped by an individual and not knowing if they are open source or not ? is everyone ok with this ?

• How do you select text in an email or on a web page to copy paste it ? Is it possible ?

I feel like sailfish has a lot of potential and really enjoy using it, but a nice UI might not be enough for me to stay considering the points above (especially privacy...)

just wanted to give my 2 cents about what I am discovering of sailfish os.

I am coming from the android world and installed the 1st community build of sailfish os on my new Fairphone 2 because because, as I felt like a lot of the fairphone community was talking about it.it, it made me curious.

I have to say after a few minutes of not-knowing-how to do things, it feels quite nice to use.
