    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

      “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.

      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.
