I had a SailfishOS phone for four years; an Xperia XA2+. The operating system was wonderful, and being able to run Android apps when there was no alternative was a good way of filling in the gaps in the Jolla store.

However, as I've got older I find large phones more and more unwieldy, and I couldn't find a small enough SailfishOS phone to switch to. I'm now running LineageOS on a Jelly Star. The form factor is perfect for me.

Would I return to SailfishOS? Absolutely. But there'd need to be a small phone in the line up for me to migrate to.

Which version of LOS do you run exactly? Did you compile it yourself, or did you pick a pre-made version? One from XDA?

I ask, because the device is not officially supported by LineageOS, but if it works well with a different approach it would be an interesting option for me as well.

Can you use teams/outlook on your jelly star? I've been wondering how bad the ux could be in real world use.
