Sailfish OS: Important apps and patches

Sailfish OS is a very open system that only installs very basic features, so you can decide for yourself what you want on your smartphone without any form of bloatware. This is great, but sometimes it means that some features that might be considered “standard“ on other operating systems are not available from the start.

In this list I have compiled important apps (at least the ones I consider important) and patches / post-install features that you should not miss if you use SFOS.
