Another busy fortnight for Sailfish OS. Community meetups like the one in Bremen remind us how important it is to stay connected. If you are organizing one, let us know so we can help spread the word.
Sailfish OS 5.0 rollout is now underway. Fixes and improvements continue, with bigger updates headed toward 5.1.

Happy Easter from all of us at Jolla. Enjoy the time with your friends and loved ones.
Hey #FediFriends,
Has anyone tried #SailFishOS?
Any thoughts?
Just toying with the idea of getting a mini-laptop-style phone at some point, like a Gemini.
@OpenComputeDesign @s31bz @light @admitsWrongIfProven
good feedback! i think #furiphone has support for #android apps (#waydroid iirc?) and back in the day so did #jolla / #sailfish - i think you can get those on a #sony these days
also i've run android-x86 in vm and its alright but idk what those apps are gonna try. supposedly only finance apps are allowed by google to check for a rooted phone but ... who knows https://peabee.substack.com/p/everyone-knows-what-apps-you-use
@tarmot @LehtoriTuomo @titia @marko Onko Jollasta tai Jollaboysilta tullut joku kuluttajamalli? En löytänyt aiheesta kuin tuon Iltsikan artikkelin vajaan vuoden takaa.
Sailfish OS 5.0 is now available for all supported devices. The latest version of the Linux-based OS brings an update to the Gecko browser engine and Android app support has been updated from Android 11 to 13. WireGuard VPN is also now supported. https://buff.ly/434Yzrk #Sailfish #Jolla #SailfishOS

Instructions for Fastboot Flashing of Jolla C2
#Jolla recently published instructions on how to flash the Jolla community device C2 with the latest #SailfishOS images. This is also useful for increasing the root partition size.

#SailfishOS Community News – 5th Dec 2024
The recent Support Days were a success. #Jolla also saw strong interest in #Mind2 after #Slush.
Repairs for Jolla C2 are progressing, though customs delays have caused some issues. Jolla thanks for the patience.
A new Community Coordination team will launch in January. Further, a second batch of C2 devices will be available shortly. Also: Sony released new binary blobs for Xperia 10 IV and 10 V.

@whitequark I'm using the alternative smartphone OS called #sailfishos since.. uhmm... 2013 where #Jolla (the company behind that OS) introduced their first phone. I've never used any other mobile OS even if it's not perfect and has not all the fancy bells & whistles the duopoly has but f*** who cares? I want a phone, a browser and a Linux-based OS with root shell. I'm happy with that because it protects my privacy instead of spying on me.
Jolla C2 First Time Use Instructions
A few important notes by @jolla regarding the first boot and taking the #Jolla C2 into use as some issues have been reported recently in the #SailfishOS Forum:
https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-c2-first-time-use-instructions/
@caoimhin @darth I explicitly disagree on that specific point because if #Jolla really wanted to be better then they'd at least have to provide absolute basics EVERY SINGLE #Android device I've ever seen has!
#RightToRepair means that the #vendor doesn't actively inhibit #repairs or #paywalls them.
I mean, if I wanted to be downgraded into a "#User & #Consumer without #Rights" I'd buy an #iPhone or #Kindle "#Kids" device...
@darth There's a simple fix for #SailfishOS & #JollaPhone:
After all, #Fairphone can do that too, and they provide a way better product with the #Fairphone3plus [abeit they #Enshittified #Fairphone4 & #Fairphone5 by removing #HealdphoneJack and real #DualSIM capabilities! (#eSIM doesn't count!)]....
@darth As for #Jolla and #SailfishOS: That #shitshow deserves to die a quick and painful end, since the #JollaPhone is #eWaste of the #Apple caliber:
