I see security is not taken seriously around here. For shame.
What cave are you in? In next couple of days there will be tutorials how to block/fake access for android apps to contacts etc, yes you will need to use dev mode and terminal, if you're not comfortable with that then what 1% are we talking about? Ease of use for Joe >> way for geeks to tweak stuff from company pov

Edit: srsly it's like the question "can we root/jailbreak aliendalvik" you decide what you do with this phone, if you want, you can have,much better control here

Cinnamon (the sane gnome UI, other option mate) on Debian. I have seen reports of it working fine on Ubuntu. You will even find reports it works on Fedora. So it might just be some program claiming it and things failing because the autorun cannot access it.

So just Linux? No Windows, no OS X? Within Windows, you'd see that Vista (unsupported by Microsoft) and Windows 7/8/8.1 which are still supported as well as OS X (10.7/10.8/10.9) whereas the last two are still supported by Apple actively; are out there in the consumer world and actively used. I'm not going to go into the BSD's and alternate OS's (think: Haiku and the like).

Mind you, I'm a Slackware user. Have been since 1996. But I now run OS X 10.9 and use VMWare to run my other OS's. I'm sure you guys can use some virtualization and test beyond a distro I've personally haven't used (although, that shouldn't really matter) and test other major OS's and versions.

Not saying it didn't happen (testing) but I'm only able to go by what's confirmed so far.

This kind of stuff is important to a wide group of possible consumers. This opens up the gate for other OS relevant questions.

I don't have those but I have Xperia Z and it is usually around 2-5 seconds(about) behind Z's Chrome when loading pages, sometimes tho, Sailfish browser was faster loading page but very rarely. U'll be using firefox or some other android browser tho if you want landscape.

No problems in Windows 8 when I connect Jolla. Works without a hitch.Nor on my Linux install at home. Only on OSX.

Also connected my Jolla to Windows XP at work and got a shitstrom of weird security notices, but I think thats just the usual insanity from the IT people who do that stuff where I work.

Wouldn't Jolla to Android's Firefox be the apples to apples comparison?

Thanks. I thought I saw somebody else in this thread on Linux having a slight problem, but I might have been wrong. Thanks for this clarification.

Also connected my Jolla to Windows XP at work and got a shitstrom of weird security notices, but I think thats just the usual insanity from the IT people who do that stuff where I work.
I wouldn't be surprised.

Ok I'll do some fast tests, will edit this post. would love to do video of the comparisons but got no equipment for that so I cant tell exact times...so they will be only "about" times :P

edit:
Sailfish browser vs Android Firefox on Xperia Z. Now Sailfish browser pretty much beat the crap out of androids firefox when loading pages, sailfish browser beat firefox almost everytime with somewhere around 3-5 seconds faster loading, there was few times when firefox took even more than 5 seconds and 1 time when firefox was faster. However sailfish browser doesn't resize the text so i have to zoom and scroll horizontally if theres something to read.

Not sure if it was intentional, but i'm digging the rhymes at the last sentence there
