I have used Sailfish OS as my only phone for 4 years now. The nice things are that it comes with a terminal emulator, you can get a (root) shell, call rpm, ip etc.
The not so nice thing is that the company obviously has no ressources to do anything about the browser. It is a seriously outdated Firefox.
The HW situation is not so bright at the moment. They still support the original models Jolla and Jolla C. But I guess all phones that have been used are showing serious signs of age by now.
Sony Xperia X is no longer sold. They are stuck at a 3.10 kernel and Android 4.4. I am typing this message on one.
Sony Xperia XZ solves these dead ends, but there seem still issues with the baseport, so the SW is only called beta.
For anybody considering Sailfish, if you are happy with F-Droid and proud of not running Google Play Services then this might be for you. Of course there are also real purists who don't even install the Android support.
