Jolla with SailfishOS or Motorola with Graphene? (lemmy.world)

I just got my pre-order of the Jolla Phone confirmed. I was super stoked on having a European Linux Based phone.

However Motorola announced collaboration with Graphene during this period.

I am really torn, I love Motorolas and have used them for the last five years. Also Graphene seems a bit more open source and secure ad I've always said I would switch the instant they launched on a non-google phone.

Does anyone here have input on this, or maybe suggestions for a certain comm where this question would find better ground? (I didn't want to ask os specific comms as that would be unbecoming)

My POV (having not used a Jolla phone) is that it's likely to be less convenient than GrapheneOS (I do use Graphene). I understand SailfishOS has an android compatibility layer but I assume there will be random apps that don't work well with it (Graphene isn't free of this either). That said, I want consumers to have more options, which means there needs to be early adopters willing to accept limitations or inconvenience to build up the ecosystem of alternatives, so if you're willing to do that, I think you should. I realize this is selfish in some ways, but it's also good in the bigger picture.

I wouldn't be surprises if the Motorola phone gets heavily delayed and eventually cancelled (I have no inside knowledge, but have been hopeful about too many things that get cancelled to be optimistic until it's widely available). As such, I think another benefit of Jolla is it's more likely that you'll get one (in a reasonable time).
