Sailfish OS as a hobby

Hello. I have been a Sailfish OS fan ever since it was released. I know a bit about Linux and grew up in that generation. I would be interested in starting to delve deeper into Sailfish OS architecture and related topics out of personal interest. How would you recommend starting such a hobby? I don’t know how to program and I don’t want to learn programming.

edit: I perhaps should have mentioned this category first: Get started.
There are pinned threads worth reading.

FYI, FAQ is not available yet. That’s the reason you won’t be able to open it.

Oh, sorry, link removed.

A Hobby? More like an obsession! :slight_smile:

My answer is clear: yes, absolutely!

The line between “tinkering” and “programming” is thin and not very clear - do what you find fun and what seems useful to you.
Figuring out how stuff works, how that working can be influenced or changed, or how to add something new - these can be fun and rewarding.

Whether you enjoy that, and whether you might call it programming or something else is up to you of course.

But how you recommend to start? This is t problem😂

Writing tutorial? Or testing guides and improving them?

I assume for writing a tutorial the writer should know, how it works, not? :smiley:

Testing guides and improving them is a good point.

I would be interested in starting to explore, for example, the architecture of Sailfish OS and getting familiar with it. I am most interested in both the software and hardware aspects.”
