i am asked many times about the os on my mobile. i tell the people about privacy, foss, user control, linux, no google…
they listen to me and say - i dont need it. i want the same what all my friends and colleges use…
and about privacy they say - i have nothing to hide, i am not interesting for fsb, cia etc…
so they do not “not knowing it”
they simply dont need it.
and from this perspective - SailfishOS is not mainstream. you dont need to be a dev (i am not a dev, but i work in IT), but you need to care about privacy and you must be ready to pay price for it. for me its ok, when the system i use costs money, and its ok for me that i cant open my ebike with SailfishOS. all this is the price i am ready to pay. but everybody need to decide for himself here…
