Hi!
Im new in here, but I
m following Sailfish OS community for some time.
I do have one complex question:
It is Sailfish OS ready for BFU?
Starting point:
I do own SONY Xperia 10 II (XQ-AU52, latest update) and Ive bought it last year just because of Sailfish OS. Currently I
m running it on Android, but I do want to migrate. But it is pricy phone and my only one, so there is no space for mistakes (just dont want to spent 400+ bucks for nothing). If the Sailfish won
t work, i will just probably migrate to Apple and stay up there (even this is against my “belief”- still safer than google).
Im not programmer. I do have Linux, I can somehow (thru tutorials) use Terminal commands, but I really don
t want to solving bugs in OS. I`m just simple BFU, which wants high privacy and security.
What are my requirements?
I do run some apps, which are for me must, or nice have. Without confirmation, that those apps will fully work, I simply can`t migrate.
-
Proton Mail (.apk)
-
Proton Calendar (.apk)
-
(Proton drive - probably soon . apk)
-
Proton VPN - this looks like trouble., I don`t need .apk for VPN, but i want to use Proton.
-
Firefox browser or browser addons (NoScript, uBlock, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, Decentaleyes)
-
Email client which can handle multiple email accounts (Gmail, and some simple smtp) - FairMail like
-
Standard Notes (.apk)
-
Some social media .apks (Facebook Lite, Instagram…)
-
Signal (.apk)
-
F-Droid applications
-
Few Playstore applications (mainly maps, wheather, etc.)
-
Spotify- compatible with BT headphones (some users have issues with that?)
-
Garmin connect - no need for watch notifications, but I do need synchronisation after running activity (tracking of progress…). - This also looks like trouble
-
Dual sim support
-
Wifi Hotspot
-
Waze .apk
-
I can live with one lens support for camera, but full 3 lens support is nice to have.
-
Access to Playstore would be nice (i can use apk mirror, but sometimes it is pain in the…)
-
Bitwarden .apk would be nice
-
Android Car is nice to have, but not expecting that (EDIT: or at least BT connection with Radio in Car)
I did lot of research before asking those questions, but biggest issue is, that most of the topics are about Sailfish 3 and some topics about Xperia 10 II (OS4) are still open.
It looks like dummy question, but there is growing group of people which want to run away from Google and Apple. And Sailfish looks like solution.
Thanks for answers!
