Always nice when someone gives links to good discussion about SFOS, Thank you <3

In your day-to-day use, you’re going to be spending a lot of time using the Android compatibility layer, because native Sailfish applications simply don’t pull their weight. This leads to the age-old problem of any operating system that loses focus on native applications and opts to go all-in on compatibility layers or ports instead, and int he case of Sailfish that means: why run Sailfish to run Android applications poorly, when you can also just run Android?

This is clearly a statement from someone who steadily got used to everything Android and iOS have to offer and now cannot think their way back to a more frugal experience anymore.

And even if, using SFOS compatibility layer is still better than using Android itself, from a privacy POV.

That said, the article makes some important points.
