I enjoy the overall user experience. They did a fantastic job with making navigation smooth.

I am a linux desktop user so allowing me to ssh to my phone is amazing. Easy to terminal into it, gives me sudo, easy to navigate.

For the Apps, this one is a little tricky, however I have managed to live with a few things such as open street maps over google maps. However, I can still use google maps just in browser. It is not ideal but it is not that bad. I am certain someone will come out with something in the future so it is a matter of waiting.

There are absolutely things that can be improved no doubt. My personal experience is that I like to look at things in a more positive light of, what can I do rather than what can it not do. I got to the point of how I do not like Apple's and Google's practices, that you are basically locked into their environments and malicious practices.

I own the phone and what is on it. That means a lot to me. Sailfish helps a lot with that. There are always naysayers, but they also are the same people that are too critical of things.

Finding an old oneplus one or any community supported phone for cheap is not too bad. I ended up getting an XA2 and that worked out the best for me. I find that my phone performs quite well even though it is "older" compared to the latest flagships. I am not too caring about a 64 megapixel photo or image blending etc. I can do that on my normal box.
