Where to go after Sailfish?

You are the data! Smart tvs and cars are sold because of your sexual preferences, why should smartphones be innocent? Fight for your right, safe communication… Our ancestours died too much, it is not to late

The porting of getevent Android command to Linux seems promising in order to decode that data without further investigation. This casts the picture of an initial architecture:

• a yamuid which init the drm framebuffer and listen for receiving a command
• a toucheventd which init the touch screen and listen for event add them in a queue
• a punktd which set the initial display and elaborate the events in the queue

The first PoC would not be a phone but a simple calculator: 1 * 3 = 3, 4 + 2 = 6, etc.

Are you sure that nobody wants partecipate to this quest?

Why speculating. I’m not sitting on a boat with too less life vests. So I have plenty of time to decide where to go. At the moment Jolla is still alive, even so they are struggling, so why should I leave at the moment.

You are so right. All that speculation leads to nothing but premature decisions. Decisions must be taken fast but not early.

Speculations can lead anywhere including beautiful places, if you know how do manage them.

@WT.Sane

Decisions must be taken fast but not early.

Correct, timing is essential.

However, to take a decision fast we need to evaluate the alternative and the available options otherwise the fast decision cannot happen fast or it is a blind jump. Usually, the second.

Conclusion

Speculations about where to go after SailFish OS can be interesting because it means that people who are speculating realized that SFOS is not the way whatever Jolla does.

Speculations about where to go after Jolla Oy are useless because they missed the main point above: SailFish OS is not the answer whatever is the question.

Not for me, at least - not any release I saw up to this moment, at least because I use UNIX systems as end-user and as developer and I know what I am expecting from a such a systems and what I am not going to accept.

Already jumped ship a while ago, sadly.

Although I had my reasons to do so, deep down I still hope that SFOS will fix itself, as I am genuinely tired of seeing mono/duopolies in the tech space.

Fortunately for daily driver, albeit relatively slow and sluggish UX in many things, this X10 II is able to keep me on the road fairly well. And many things in SFOS are executed well.

Absolutely this, but with a Snapdragon 855; after I tried Android again almost 2 years later and saw just how responsive the system could be, my mind was seriously confused.

Personally, I see myself returning to Ubuntu Touch. otherwise I might try Mobian or Droidian
