@matcher123 In the long term, alternatives such as /e/os/ and Sailfish OS, and perhaps even Graphen OS, are probably the best choice. This is especially true if hardware manufacturers support them; manufacturers such as Fairphone or Jolla are sufficient.

Most exciting for me is that @jolla is very close to publish a Sailfish OS 5.0 update release, and that they approaching branching of the Sailfish OS 5.1. The 5.1 update is planned to be released somewhere around March. It will contain support for BeaconDB, which should help Location services to get a fix faster. Not much else is announced about this release yet...

I hope new Norwegian users on the #SailfishOS will enjoy the translations, and I encourage others to translate the software they use to their language as a warm welcome of all the new community members we will get later this year when the new European Do It Together (DIT) Linux phone arrives:
