I've never heard about sailfishos before. Are there any phones running it now? Also, forgive my lack of knowledge, but what's stopping people from running it on their samsungs or whatever?

The whole thing does look interesting. Hopefully it picks up so that in 2 or 3 years when i'll be shopping for a replacement to my pixel 8 I'll actually have some good options.

SailfishOS has been around since 2013. It's based on an even older Nokia project (from before they got bought and sold by Microsoft). Since then there has been a number of devices running it. In recent years that's mostly been the Jolla C2, a rebranded low spec device by Turkish manufacturer Reeder, and certain Sony phones, such as the Xperia V III. The latter doesn't ship with SFOS but you can purchase a โ‚ฌ50 license and install it yourself.

There are also community ports that are unofficial and don't have all the features (Android app support is missing for example) but run on some other devices. The problem in ARM world is that OS's need to be tailored to the device (for the most part). It's not like on intel or amd PCs. So if you want to run it on your Samsung or whatever, then you can do that. It's just a lot of work.
