Hello, I'm having trouble unlocking my PinePhone Pro. I went through the introduction / tutorial, set a password, connected to my WiFi, and rebooted. But ever since then, its just been this spinning circle. I tried swiping up, down, left, right, nothing. I mean I can drag down the top menu or switch to my camera, but that's about it.

How do I unlock it?

Is sailfish OS even maintained?

I would try Postmarket OS with KDE mobile or phosh. Chances are you are going to want a normal phone.

It looks like it may need to be charged, or the OS is corrupted somehow and needs to be reinstalled (source).

For SailfishOS the lock screen should look like this.

It's supposedly already open.

I swiped up, then left, and saw this:

I thought you were asking about the bootloader. No idea if you're trying to hack your own phone. Just reinstall it if you're starting from scratch.

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.
