What you think about this operating software? Pretty niche still, but if its alright maybe we could take the next step and use a almost open source os?

Thank you so much for your insight! Definitely interesting to hear how it feels for new person. I have thoughts so that using the phone would feel very different from android/ios people are used to. But as you mentioned maybe not in bad way at all.

Have you experienced any hiccups or major bugs that have required deep debugging or booting the phone? What are your thoughts of the native browser? Have you been able to use maps like HereWeGo successfully?

I've not experienced any major bugs so far. I tried here we go maps, but could never got the actual map to load. Organic maps so far seems fine though. I wasn't a fan of the standard browser myself, it felt sluggish. I got Fennec (a Firefox fork) from F-Droid instead and am very happy with it. DuckDuckGo also worked fine. Both are Android apps, they're not native Sailfish OS. I have tried whisperfish, which is a native Signal client. That's been working really well. What I found interesting about the native clients, is that they follow your device's color scheme and font etc, they don't have their own design the way Android/iOS apps usually do.

One thing I have been wondering is why to use Whisperfish if the android app support works great with signal android app? Is it faster or more reliable?
