So you are talking about "background services". And how are these unique to Jolla/Sailfish? I had these functionality years ago on non-Sailfish device.

The issue I see for you is that other OSes use an API unfamiliar to you that you would have to learn and adapt to.
I must admit this is the exact thing that drawn me to Maemo - a familiar API. But API and promises and more promises do not make my daily life easier... We had a lot of fun together though and we'll always have Paris...
