There is Sailfish OS, been using it for a couple of years now... works pretty great. Not free, but that's kind of the point, you pay for a product so they don't have to get your money in some hidden way.
There are native apps, and you can download Android apps from open app stores. I was surprised how many companies deploy to these open stores, like my own bank.

"Sailfish OS is a European alternative to dominating mobile operating systems"
- palata 4y agoInteresting, I have never seen a Sailfish phone. > With Sailfish OS you can run beautiful gesture-based native apps powered by Qt framework I wonder how Qt mobile apps can remotely compete with iOS/Android ones. Like... do they actually have mobile devs willing to write mobile apps in Qt? That's a genuine question. I, for one, wouldn't want to.
- mariusor 4y agoThe ecosystem is not great, I think Jolla doesn't really have the resources to promote good mobile applications, and none to dedicate to convince existing mobile developers to create QtQuick versions. Despite that, the hobbyists are making things, and they work decently well most of the time.
- palata 4y agoSounds fair. And they support Android apps, which is cool.
