Back on Ubuntu Touch with a Nexus 5 (and a "pro" phone just for call on a Galaxy S3 on Lineage 16 without microG)

4 months later

I'm using Android 9 (Notorious Samsung Galaxy A8, which bot updated up to Android 10) and i ressurected BlackBerry Playbook with BlackBerry Tablet OS and locked bootloader (no hack, no one chance to change dinosaurs system)

I use eelo os ungoogled Android. My personal nextcloud server is so well integrated !

fabiomorales9999 We are a desktop operating system. This includes laptops and normal desktop computers. Not server or mobile. Those platforms have very different requirements and would not be implemented at all like Solus.

      I use Android, but I so want something 100% opensource and privacy-oriented. Come on Linux!!! :-(

      George That has nothing to do with the age of the system. It's most likely a GPU driver bug.

        there are missing some OS' in the Poll (and the option, to select more than one). I've some devices laying around here:

        Android
        BlackBerry 10 (one of the better OS)
        WebOS (one of the better OS)
        Tizen
        Sailfish OS
        Symbian
        iOS

        I loved BB10 and WebOS, but unfortunately, the did not survive. So I'll stick with Android actually...

          Chrym The poll wasn't intended to be exhaustive. Flarum polls don't support multiple-selections, so you are free to answer with your favorite if that works better.

            Chrym I've still got a Pixie, Pre, and a Sprint hacked Pre2 laying around somewhere. WebOS was by far my favorite. I miss the days of swapping carrier antennas around and overclocking devices right up to the point of melting the internals.

                Brucehankins yeah, WebOS was very modern and powerful back then, but HP slammed it to death. I worked long with my BlackBerry Z10, which had some ideas from webos combined with micro kernel, real time os and buildin security. Was a great OS. Loved it.

                    Chrym BBOS pre-dates webOS by over a decade. If you specifically mean BBOS 10 (2013), that came out a few years after webOS (2009), but had been in development since before RIM bought QNX in 2010. Most of what you probably consider modern features in webOS, are actually carried over from the original BBOS which had a decade of very heavy UX engineering that everyone copied: Palm, Android, and Symbian. Even the screen gestures date back to earlier touchscreen BB devices.

                      I mean BlackBerry 10 (BB10, which is not BBOS). The gesture UI/UX was first at WebOS, BBOS didn't had this. BB10 was intruduced with gestures. And yes, BB10 is QNX.

                      Anyway: BB10 was in my eyes the best mobile OS, followed by WebOS.

                        Chrym Not sure why you felt the need to read back half of what I said. Not looking to fact-check against you about things I already know. And for the record, I happen to prefer BB10 over any other mobile OS. If it weren't for security updates going away, I'd still be using it.

                        But fine. I'll give webOS touch gestures by beating BB to the market by < 1 yr with Palm Pre. Though that really means that both companies were developing them at the same time. Nothing else feature-wise about webOS was fundamentally unique though. It was all lifted from earlier OSes.

                            DataDrake but webOS just did it better. Ask Deiter Bohn about it 😂. (Not arguing, just making the joke since he started what's was probably the biggest webOS/Palm community going at the time and was a huge part of webOS Internals. Also has strong feelings about it still that constantly come up on The Verge cast.)
