Anyone still using Sailfish OS ? (sailfishos.org)

I used to run it on my Xperia, and life was good. Then they announced a version for the Xperia 10 III, so I got hyped and bought the device. When the release came out, it lacks so many features and was riddled with bugs, so I never installed it. As of today (4.5.19), it seems the software still lacks basic features (ability to use the 3 cameras), and still has very annoying bugs (must use loidspeaker when in communication to prevent echo).

Am I misinformed ? Is anyone using it daily that could share their experience?

Thanks!

I'm obviously biased as I'm a Jolla employee. But I am using Xperia 10 III as a daily driver. It's possible to use all three cameras; there's a patch which allows you to choose between the three cameras and the selfie camera. You don't have to use the loudspeaker; the echo issue happens very rarely - the last time it happened to me was in June 2022, i.e. over a year ago.

If you already have the device, why don't you try it out yourself?

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't try it because I didn't want to buy Sailfish OS (again...) just to end up with a broken phone, and rollback to android, especially as it breaks the warranty. I figured I could just wait for the next update for these issues to be fixed, but they never came and I simply did not bother getting the test image at this point.

Would you have a link to the patch for the camera ?

Understood - I absolutely recommend trying out the free version before buying a license.

Here's the patch: https://build.sailfishos.org/package/show/sailfishos:chum/x10iii-cam-button

and here's a forum topic about it:

Hi, do you still work at Jolla? What is the current state of the company?

[-] vige@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Hi, sorry I haven't been active in Lemmy. No, I don't work at Jolla any longer.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
