Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

Sailfish OS is beautiful and really nice, decent app support

Have you actually used sailfishos? It isn't much better than using an Ubuntu touch device:

  • app support is still pretty weak
  • no volte
  • big, big problems still with using MMS
  • SMS problems (still) while data is on
  • networking stack is very buggy for android apps (WhatsApp calls are unusable)
  • no 5g
  • no nfc

If you had a different experience, I'd love to know how you achieved it.

I have not gotten it to work for calls but I'm prejudiced, I loved Maemo and Meego and have really only poked around the OS without a SIM connected because I couldn't use it for calls in the US
