I own a fairphone for two weeks. I wanted to try sailfish OS on it but I first tried Ubuntu Touch and it works very well so I keep using it at the moment.

The software is Linux, that is cool.
But a UI with text on transparent background is not pleasant.

Bad comparison.
One is a desktop environment, the other is a mobile environment.
One is from 1987, the other one is from 2019.
Compared to contemporary mobile environments such as Android and iOS it is awful.Last edited by tildearrow; 25 March 2019, 04:58 PM.

I agree, but at least it is better than this:
(to clarify: I know this is a desktop UI but the design and it's old but the fact that it's still being used in some cases makes it suck more)

About the beauty of Sailfish: I've been using Android from early December till Sailfish X Beta was released for the XA2, and I must say, that, compared to Sailfish, Android just feels clunky, and like it was designed to be as unwieldy to use as possible... Sailfish is just more elegant, as quite a lot of things that would require multiple taps on Android can be done with a single swipe.

No, I was not aware that thee are several themes available. I hope that at least one of them is good.
They should showcase their OS with another theme, because that one with text on top of a blue-green background looks very bad.

Short warning here: If you get an XA2, I'd recommend to stick to Android until Jolla fix the WLAN battery drain and the proximity sensor issues. One can use the phone with Sailfish X, but having to switch off WLAN unless you want to run out of battery in a couple of hours, and having to manually lock the screen while making a phone call are quite annoying.
By now there is a workaround for proximity sensor issue: https://together.jolla.com/question/...ty-sensor-xa2/ and they said that it is a priority for them to solve that issue and he want to have it solved for next version.
