If you are looking for a #linux based #European #mobileOS that can be a daily driver for many people that has #nospyware or #algorithms built in, respects your #privacy by default and is easy to use, #Jolla #Sailfish OS is an easy recommendation as an #alternativeto #Android and #iOS.
They are cooking up a new #phone for delivery #2026 which you can now preorder: https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder
@nomad99 @jolla I have also noticed the decline, which is okay as Christmas is coming. But #Jolla definitely should plan something you have proposed! Especially the website clarification!
Video of the device would be amazing also if they have some demo units available.
#Jolla lets push the sales! So far numbers look good, but there needs to be more push to double the sales, which would bring quite nicely new people in to the #SailfishOS. #Europe deserves its own #mobileOS.
Jolla Lanza Nuevo Smartphone con Sailfish OS Enfocado en la Privacidad
Jolla ha anunciado un nuevo smartphone que revive su apuesta por la independencia móvil y la privacidad, impulsado por su sistema operativo Sailfish OS basado en Linux. El dispositivo se posiciona en la gama media-alta con una pantalla AMOLED de 6.7 pulgadas y potentes especificaciones, buscando atraer a usuarios que rechazan el ecosistema de Google y Apple (Fuente Gizmochina).
Jolla ha presentado el que promete ser su modelo de smartphone más ambicioso hasta la fecha, un dispositivo que desafía el duopolio de Android e iOS al utilizar el sistema operativo Sailfish OS. Este sistema operativo de código abierto, desarrollado en Finlandia y basado en Linux, es conocido por su fuerte enfoque en la privacidad y el control del usuario.
Características Clave del Nuevo Jolla Phone

La principal diferenciación del teléfono radica en Sailfish OS, que ofrece una interfaz de usuario minimalista y gestual. Crucialmente, el sistema es compatible con las aplicaciones de Android a través de una capa de compatibilidad, lo que permite a los usuarios acceder a un vasto catálogo de apps sin sacrificar la filosofía de privacidad que propone Sailfish.
El nuevo teléfono de Jolla está claramente dirigido a desarrolladores, entusiastas de Linux y, sobre todo, a aquellos usuarios que buscan escapar de la recopilación masiva de datos inherente a Google y Apple, ofreciendo una opción real y potente fuera de los ecosistemas tradicionales.

Privacy-focused mobile OS /e/OS 3.2 now warns you of applications leaking your data

A good promo of deGoogled android:
This video is about iodéOS, but the same idea applies to other privacy-focused Android options. I personally use GrapheneOS.
It’s not too hard to install deGoogled android on supported older devices, and it’s definitely worth the effort.
If you don’t want to install it yourself, there are also phones that come with de-Googled Android out of the box.
Oh ein Jolla C2 zu Weihnachten wäre schon ein wundertoller Spaß. 🤩 Bestellt. ✔️ #SailfishOS #MobileOS #Jolla #JollaC2 #LinuxPhone -> https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone
Jolla C2 Community Phone
A refletir sobre o modelo de negócio do Jolla C2: a subscrição anual para o Sailfish OS (após o primeiro ano) para ter acesso a atualizações e componentes comerciais (como o suporte a apps Android).
Por um lado, financia o desenvolvimento de um SO open source focado na privacidade. Por outro, levanta questões sobre o que significa ter um "telefone Linux" aberto.
É um preço justo pela independência?
💬 O que pensam deste modelo de subscrição?

This is an important announcement, albeit a little too late. Its high time we have an ecosystem of free OS for mobile phones, just like what we have on the PC land. Hopefully this project would make it possible relatively quickly.

The Free Software Foundation today announced the LibrePhone project with a goal of creating a fully free software OS for mobile devices and to reverse-engineer obstacles where necessary...

I've installed now #GrapheneOS.
There were a few reasons I only tried GrapheneOS now. The main issue was purchasing a device - I didn't want to pay much if I didn't like Graphene, but I'm only interested in Pixels for GrapheneOS. I found #BackMarket is the best option for refurbished phones, especially since they deliver to Greece and other small EU countries, and deliver just within 3 days! As for eBay, I have found it is problematic.

Soy un fiel defensor de #UbuntuTouch, pero hoy tuve un mal sabor de boca 😕. No pude hacer algo tan simple como copiar‑pegar; parece que hay un límite de caracteres y, solo en ciertas apps, el botón de “pegar” o “copiar” aparece diminuto, casi imposible de usar. ¡Deberían arreglarlo! #UX #OpenSource #Linux #MobileOS #Tech #BugReport #Feedback #UI #Design #Community #FreeSoftware #AndroidAlternative #OpenSourceLove 🚀 @ubports @ubuntu

#Meta’s #trackingpixel was secretly communicating with Meta’s apps on #Android devices. This violates a fundamental security feature #sandboxing of #mobileOS that prevents #apps from communicating with each other. Meta got around this restriction by exploiting #localhost, a feature meant for developer testing. This allowed Meta to create a hidden channel between mobile browser apps and its own apps.

"The FOSS world pivoted away from the Debian-based n900 to Google's Android for the mobile world, which had the veneer of FOSS but without ever seeming to meaningfully deliver real practical user freedom. And I got bitter and disillusioned with my dreams.
To see Zacchae's FOSS cyborg setup revived all my interests."

GTK 4.18 drops old GL renderer, breaking Megapixels camera app (and potentially some other apps) on PinePhones with Arch Linux (ARM), Alpine/postmarketOS edge, Fedora 42, Alpine 3.22/postmarketOS 25.06, NixOS 25.05, and Debian 13 "Trixie" systems, some workarounds include installing the Flatpak version of Megapixels, or running it in an Alpine 3.21 Distrobox container:
https://linmob.net/gtk-418-the-pinephone-and-megapixels/
(PinePhone's camera isn't the best anyways, but regardless it's sad to see it aging, it's basically the only affordable Linux phone on the market (unless you're a rich guy). Luckily I don't use a lot of apps on my phone as I prefer desktop for 99% of things, but since Google made some steps towards killing off custom roms (by restricting public access to smaller AOSP updates, and giving app devs the option to block sideloading), Linux phones have a crutial role in smartphone privacy, and it shouldn't be only for the rich. Of course, some Android phones are supported by UBports and postmarketOS but most mobile distros don't support many Android devices, users are left with less options.)
(With that being said, PinePhone has the most supported distros (20+) but ironically all of them are either unstable or has missing support for features like Bluetooth or GPS, with this dropped GL renderer, there might be even more issues in the future.)
