As an N9 and 808 owner as well as one of the affected devices, seeing Sailfish on a 2019 phone would be perfect, for those apps I might lose I have a tablet.
Shame HMD failed to produce a good enough device to act as 808 replacement, the p30 is acting well in that role.

And around that time I did own the Samsung Wave II, and used the early Bad OS. I've heard both Linux groups have made progress, not sure how much.
How would you compare the latest iteration of Aurora OS/Sailfish OS v3, to say, the latest iteration of Tizen v4 ?
Also, extra questions;
do you know much about LuneOS,
and has Ubuntu Touch/UBPorts been killed/is it flourishing?

I think they have a better chance to succeed in the international market if they choose SailfishOS

I don't care if a few developers move to ark os , it's probably the ones that make the rubbish apps anyway, I want Adobe , Microsoft, official internet banking apps, PayPal, etc
Not dodgy appstores that claim they have millions of apps which are basically ripped apk files , no stupid side loading of apps.

Well.. I was wondering why we, the consumers, do not have more OSes at our disposal. I always like to imagine LinuxMint OS for phones. How it would look like, perform etc. With or without a ban we still need more OSes.

mdtrpa, 15 Jun 2019The development of HongMeng OS began 7 years back as a plan... moreExactly.
In china anygoogle services are prohibited so USA cant spy over china via phone.
If the new OS will be sucessfull and not based on Android noone of the future phones will be used as a spytool for USA agencies such as CIA or NSA.

Please do note that first spam comes from US soils as well.
Since then we have a bloatware.
Google is full of it. Stupid advertising everywhere and when u use addblocker most of the apps refuse to run and work.
Only pure android is good OS at least for me and Cyanogen by Oneplus.
Rest of the phones with add ons are complete bloatware no matter the brand. Samsung Sony Huawei LG Xiaomi etc. What dont have pure android is bloatwaew

Well, ofc. Chinese manufacturers have no imagination and no creativity to come up with something of their own that’s also good. They can copy, but they can’t create/innovate.

Meego would have come long way with success as a mature OS till now, only Nokia's fame would have been enough for Meego. But now Nokia Smartphone Business belongs to HMD global being just another manufacturer, not like the old golden days of original Nokia.
