The last 10 years might have been half of your life as an example, but barely a season is someone else’s life. It’s not that much 
Sfos is the only actually working alternative to the duopoly now, comes from EU, and it’s just different than the rest in multiple ways.
If you expect it to be a better iPhone on the things that overlap with both you will be disappointed.
But if it aligns with your lifestyle and ethics, you’re going to love it!
…is exactly what 99% of iOS and Android users are. I’ve tried them all, best to mention. 
Using SFOS since 2012 doesn’t mean that the OS or underlying phone was never updated.
Calling it a “Boomer OS” would be also true for Android, iOS and most other OSes as most of them are older than 2012.
BTW. My Laptop runs an OS that exists under its name since the early 90ies but its roots are very much older. I wouldn’t call it a “Dinosaur-OS”
I’m using a Fairphone 5 with SFOS. My Xperia 10 II stopped getting registered on volte with T-Mo USA and 2G and 3G are gone, so I was glad to find Mal’s port working so I could ditch the Kaos flip-phone.
Been a SFOS user since around 2014 when my last N9 died, possibly from hypothermia. Had to take a break every so often with network technologies getting abandonned here faster than Jolla was adding new ones. 
Looking forward to a new J2 with hopes it’ll work ok here.
There’s a second page with a few folders of stuff I almost never use and un-removable apps. I’d post that but you know, arthritis.
Anyway gotta go, the hep cats just announced a Glenn Miller dance in my nursing home dining room! Don’t wanna be a square!
This is exactly why I switched to Sailfish four years ago.
what app Audio Output do?
This is my second go at SFOS. Screenshot doesn’t look nearly as impressive as some others given that I had to delete nearly everything to free up the space to upgrade to 5.1.
To date I have used:
I really love SFOS from both a user interface point of view (can’t believe some people here think it’s dated??) and a privacy / hackability point of view (Linux all the things!)
I do however wish it were fully open source. Imagine the progress that could be made if we weren’t reliant on Jolla’s tiny team to find time for us.
Sadly, at the minute I have to carry a point and shoot camera and some bluetooth earbuds everywhere I go to make up for the X10IV’s lack of camera and earpiece speaker support. I am therefore now looking for a new phone as my patience for the X10IV on SFOS is running thin, which is a shame as I really love the operating system and it’s just the hardware support that’s letting it down. Hopefully if I can find another phone I can live with for a few months, I’ll be able to set some time aside to work on a LOS based SFOS port for my X10IV so I can move back.
iOS and Android came out in 2007. All my computers run Debian which came out in 1993. SailfishOS is comparitively an infant, it’s only about 13 years old!
fair point. Thinking about it, I myself fall into that category since I’ve been using android for over 10 years and I also feel that switching struggle 
You can console yourself with the fact that SFOS is easier to learn than Android. Just don’t think that it works in the same way
If your critical android apps work under AAS or you can workaround them, the transit is much smoother than you would expect! I prepared myself for big hurdle and then everything just worked (with couple hacks, but I did my homework beforehand so I knew what to do). I was very (positively) surprised how smoothly everything worked 
I started on the Linux train with my n900 in 2010.
I’d dabbled with Ubuntu on an old PC beforehand, but was a bit reluctant to make the leap.
Once I started playing about with the terminal on the n900 i went all in, and, having done a tour of various distributions, have found Debian most suitable for my needs.
On the mobile front, I’ve had the n9, then when Jolla took up the reins, I’ve had most of their supported devices (I didn’t get any fx-tec devices).
I have a C2, but prefer the x 10III so that’s my daily driver, whilst the C2 is a bit like a tablet, also serving as a media control device at home.
I’d like to think I’m a bit too young to be called a boomer, more in the ‘unc’ territory, but my preference has always been to have the linux option, and Jolla provide the most accomplished mobile version of that when you include AppSupport (and even more so now they’ve extended Bluetooth to it too). Avoiding BigTech goes hand in hand with my linux preference, so Android/iPhone have never been of interest to me.
I’ve been away from Sailfish OS for nearly 10 months now—unwillingly.
In the meantime, I’ve managed with my Fairphone 6 running /e/OS. It’s a decent operating system, but it basically imitates iOS, which I can’t say I admire all that much…
The thing is, nothing comes close to SFOS in my book. The user interface and user experience (even after 15 years) are still ahead of Android or iOS - in my humble opinion.
There is some magic (of course I’m biased) but I have from the first minute (year 2015) felt that SFOS display is (OS itself and native apps) more pleasing to the eye.
But the wait is almost over 
just one more month until I finally get my hands on the new JP2 (I’m order #14 in the first batch).
Hi, how do you create a folder (which is what I can see you did so it seems) on your home screen that you can put several app icons in? I’m using the Sony Xperia 10 III as a testing device running the latest SFOS. I’m expecting my new Jolla Phone 2026 to arrive soon to go fully off Google with the real thing.
Explain, please, I love tinkering.
[Edit:]
I presume you just pull the desired app icons onto another icon and they get added to a folder. But then you have folders that are just a frame with a number inside - how did you do that?
It looks different from what user mkz did, for example.
