has been on the market since 2013, it has been market-proven on several mobile devices, and it is being deployed in many mobile ecosystem projects around the world. It is the only open source based and independent mobile OS without any ties to big corporations, supported with strong IPR including full IP rights and trademarks.

Sailfish OS is developed by Finnish mobile company Jolla by a team of efficient and high-skilled engineers working together since 2011. The Jolla team is supported by a worldwide Sailfish community contributing to the open source codebase. With a strong, respected, and award-winning brand and reputation, Sailfish OS is a perfect strategic solution for corporations and governments, and a sought-after OS for mobile enthusiasts looking for an alternative.

The signature Sailfish UI has been developed by Jolla using QML, a powerful user experience design language provided by Qt framework.

The QML language and features give Sailfish OS the ability to provide a rich set of UI elements, to create animated, touch-enabled UIs and lightweight applications. Jolla has created the UI building blocks to build native applications with custom components called Sailfish Silica.

Sailfish OS also includes the capability to run Android™ applications. It is based on Android libraries, ensuring performance comparable to the native environment.

With Sailfish using Qt5 and Wayland technology, existing hardware adaptations made for Android can be leveraged, significantly easing the hardware adaptation work required to support the OS.

Uses systemd but not based on any modern Linux distribution.

Interesting.

Yeah, I'm looking for a compatible second-hand phone to play with.
