No, sorry but as ukrainian living in germany your post provides no factual information about russian OS that is only available in russia, so it’s hearsay, your feelings etc etc, you can have this discussion and a lot of other people might be interested in your views about normal russians and what they prefer and they will chime in and you can all condemn russia and russians, but do that in a ‘russia’ thread, not in a technical one where we are getting rare glimpses from ppl with actual experiences of that, which happen to be russian, so pls keep all the flaming and grandstanding and political discussion to that hypothethical thread and spare the informational one from that

I’m German and live in Russia. I’m following the IT developments strategy in Russia very close. There is an interesting situation here. A lot of developers are very good educated by the high level university programs in different platforms. Related to AuroraOS there is a long-term strategy to establish the OS slowly and for security related tasks first. There is especially an economic development zone in the middle of Russia for AuroraOS developing companies. And the number of companies ix growing daily. The solutions I saw so far are very promising and future oriented. And when they start with a marketing rollout for the ordanary people (not the development people) what will happen in the next year will be a big success. Only if you consider that the so called West is cutting Russia from internet services.

Btw. They already have integrated the development platform Flutter …
A SIP client is integrated and a new messenger is also realized.

There is Chromium fork for Aurora OS pushed in Auroras RuStore.

Any chance someone can post the rpm, probably the Silica-Aurora changes will make it not usable out of the box, but maybe slight tweaking could work (AuroraListView → SilicaListView etc, both systems haven’t diverged that much yet, mostly signing/access to RU controlled repos I believe, but not sure)

Now actually curious, did they break app compatibility? Can you install sfos apps from openrepos on auroraOS (if you can get non-official appstores at all that is, but you could just use notepad to copy-paste qml-only apps and test with qmlscene or sailfish-qml alternative)
Edit: nevermind sfos->aurora question already answered here What actually is Aurora OS and who is using it? - #116 by sdiconov, the other way is still in the air

Thanks so much, hopefully community can reverse engineer it to a working state on sfos, alternative browser is badly needed
Edit: MACOSX subfolder is weird, but qml files are there, no qrc bs


Interesting Sailfish.Silica in use but just ListView

Edit2: seems to be 32bit version, hopefully aarch64 will pop up too:

file libcef.so.1.12.6.omp.6478
libcef.so.1.12.6.omp.6478: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=de08b3905adb4609a917373c7d23ccb99aa5b104, stripped

But if there is a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia and also the West and Russia, not the investment could be reverted, but at least we could again use russian commitments to SFOS :slight_smile:

it seems aurora.controls has to be compiled too

Hopefully that can be stripped and whole ui brought back to basic silica
