alt Hacker NewsI'm not convinced that replacing one proprietary OS with another is the solution.
That said, I won't deny that Jolla is much more trustworthy than Google or Apple.

Consumer don't care if the OS is proprietary, as long as it works and there is a responsible party they can trust to serve them the offering.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not super familiar with Jolla's/Sailfish's architecture, but isn't most of the OS actually FOSS, while there is a thin proprietary compatibility layer, and that's about it? Was some months ago I last read about it so could be misremembering, but seems like a good first step at the very least.
