#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 244. Comparing the OnFirstPaint()/patch 0044 differences to better understand how TransactionIds are handled and ultimately bring the changes into line for ESR 91.
The new Linux phone from Jolla & its benefits? ⛵ :linux:
◉Sailfish OS - the only independent commercial mobile OS
◉Sailfish is NOT 100% closed source - Jolla plans to open the remaining blobs
◉More "Linuxy" than Android; Qt / Wayland / filesystem
◉Free of Google / Apple
◉Use Android compatibility in case an :android: app is needed
◉Jolla is a Finnish company - 🇫🇮 / 🇮🇸 are considered most trustworthy nations in Europe
:linux: Jolla | Makers of truly competitive Linux for mobile - NEW PHONE COMING! 🤳
◉Jolla is a small but spicy company on a field of relentless competition
◉Due this - Sailfish OS moves to a subscription model (but it's just 5€ / month)
◉New budget phone comes with 2 ARM Cortex-A75 CPU / 6 Cortex-A55 cores
◉8GB of RAM / 128gt space / 4,000 mAh bat
◉Pre order for €299 (incl. a 1-yr sub) & Jolla takes €50 deposit
I am blown away by #Jolla's new subscription model... I can understand why it is necessary, but at this point I would go with #PlasmaMobile with #PostmarketOS: open source as I wish #SailfishOS was
@cyberlyra (my) problem is that I'm using #SailfishOS daily accepting (a lot of) trade-offs just because it will be THE opensource operating system for mobile someday. Additionally, I self-host most of the services I need because I don't like subscription models.
After Jolla Days 2 I'm not sure #SailfishOS is the mobile OS I should use on my device anymore.
