Fairphone gen 6 and Sailfish OS 5. Official support?

It makes sense to me. Let me explain with a comparison.

There were recent discussions where users talked about an Android multi-boot Multi Boot Option or the ability to install PMOS on the Jolla Phone Upcoming Jolla Phone bootloader locking and flashability I’m not trying to re-open the particular conversations here and I’m not pointing fingers at those who proposed, agreed or disagreed (and I’m not quoting the exact messages).

The discussions were not supportive. It seems to me that if even within a community of SFOS users and developers, who all came here for a hackable linux phone, there isn’t support for trying out or installing other linux-based OSes on the hackable phone, then I perfectly can imagine the same happening within the Fairphone community.

Trying to get Fairphone users or the company enthusiastic at the idea that Jolla (competitor) users installing SFOS on the Fairphone hardware, is about the same as external users coming here and trying to get Jolla users or the company enthusiastic about replacing SFOS with PMOS on the the upcoming Jolla Phone.

Again, I’m not pointing fingers; it’s an exercise of introspection that in my opinion explains why there was never a lot of support for that to happen.
