Is jolla that good? Paying a subscription isn't the end of the world to me, as long as they are actually using the money for good, you know?
Define good? I mean if you look at the work they've been doing over the past decade, as such a tiny company, it's objectively awesome (sheer size, but also quality)! But I myself turned away from the first Jolla phones frustrated from all the kinks that were never fixed (in that time frame while that hardware was still viable - some were probably fixed in the meantime, some not). The experience remains a compromise: you get freedom from Big Tech, but you do not get several other things you've been taking for granted, because of Big Tech. Just one example, you can run Android apps, but if your phone has a fingerprint sensor (the last Jolla community phone didn't), Android apps can't use it. There is the camera issue that I mentioned (Jolla is not a camera company). It's always something, so you have to be okay with that if you want Jolla or Sailfish OS. But I will still mention that it is the most mature, full-featured mobile Linux out of all the mobile Linux efforts that have sprung up these past years. Jolla was first, and they remain ahead of the curve in this space.
