It looks like the process of building apps is far simpler on Sailfish, and linux-like.

I tried fiddling with Android, but the soft lock-in to Java, IDEs wasn't particularly exciting.

I just spent my morning installing Sailfish; I can't recommend it enough for Linux users!

The effort put into localization far surpasses what Android has (for Indian languages).

Comes with systemctl and all familiar text-file configs ones heart can wish for.

Goodbye Android, it was nice knowing you.
