    Sailfish OS is beautiful and really nice, decent app support

    Have you actually used sailfishos? It isn’t much better than using an Ubuntu touch device:

    • app support is still pretty weak
    • no volte
    • big, big problems still with using MMS
    • SMS problems (still) while data is on
    • networking stack is very buggy for android apps (WhatsApp calls are unusable)
    • no 5g
    • no nfc

    If you had a different experience, I’d love to know how you achieved it.
