it's based on a proprietary os, which includes halium proprietary blobs.

imho, linux users should focus on phones well supported by postmarketos

>>parasi+P5
All phones end up reliant on proprietary blobs. Not that I disagree in principle, but we have to be realistic. Hardware manufacturers, telcoms and to some degree regulators all do not like user freedom with regards to phones.

>>ux2664+q7
But AOSP is open source while Sailfish OS is not. Also "proprietary blobs" != "proprietary blobs" (there's varying level of obfuscation/debug info).

>>zb3+Ne
Which proprietary blobs in Sailfish OS are worse than the others you were referring to?

>>marius+Tk
Whole OS?

>>wiseow+mn
There are driver blobs for the underlying device which they can't do much about, and then there are the last vestiges of Lipstick (the Sailfish OS UI), which are not released under an open source license. That's hardly "the whole OS", since everything else is a plain linux distribution.
