What would be best strategy for Jolla going forward?

Considering that most devs left sfos development due to outdated qt… thats one point

qt5.6 is very old, INSANELY old like 11 years old. Nobody wanting to make apps wants to study 11 years old qt that is not used anywhere else in industry. Not to mention performance improvements, new features, updated js engine so that i actually wouldn’t have to use nodejs list goes on

Do I read correctly that nemo mobile is only supported on PinePhone and original Volla Phone and basically nothing works?

Sure you do! Although…

I can run in on my desktop because its awesome. Basically to run nemo you just need either mainline linux or some people ran it on majaro on libhybris but you need new enough kernel.

As to nothing working… well its two guys project so development is not fast, it’s very much hobby project.

My plan for it is to rework gui in its entirety and then add possibility of running sfos apps at which point i’m jumping the ship and never looking back. Thats why i made port for op6 cause it has good mainline support so you can install nemo on it any time you want.

Had a look at this NemoMobile homepage. It’s available for the fucking expensive PinePhone and for the old (but imho good) Volla. Saw also the list of not working features. Sorry, i think this isn’t usable for much.

No, sister :wink:

It has insane potential thats what it is. From user pov its some useless garbage, from dev pov its opensource sfos with ability to do what sfos could never do. Because its now basically just DE, on mainline linux, you can run anything on it, or run it on anything. Also saying it only runs on those two phones is not correct, it just has images for them but like i said just get manjaro or opensuse (thanks to my and @TheKit’s efforts) and install glacier, its that simple (desktop also works as shown above)

It’s meant as a expression and not to imply gender, similar to “bro”, genderless
