I head that Sony is discontinuing the Xperia X series.
How this is going to effect us?

Honestly, Sonys naming convention irritates me.
Just to know what you are talking about: The primary focus is on the device Sony Xperia X aka F5121 and F5122 for the dual sim one?

I've been using a Sony Xperia XA for about a month now, let me tell you something:
1. Updates <-- Use any custom rom if updates are not coming anymore
2. No privacy harmed <-- Use XPrivacy
3. Not crammed with bloatware: choose what you want (fair) <-- Root, and you can uninstall everything you want
4. Root access <-- You can root Android devices as well
5. Where are the advertisements? <-- Root, and you can remove all ads, even inside apps.
6. Not willing to pay a company's 70% profitmargin for harming your privacy, cramming it with bloatware and adds. <-- See all the points above.
7 (possible) android support through Alien Dalvik. <-- Native Android support, instead of half working dalvik.
I'm actually pretty happy with my rooted Sony XA.
But what about the future... Do you think this is enough to change the market ? I am quite convinced that all the failures of BB, Ubuntu, FFOS... are due to all those 'nice' people focusing on Android instead and making it free enough for their taste.
But will it remain possible to install a rom or the magic app that you are happy to play with... That is not quite clear. While if you spend your money and your energy on alternative platforms, that helps to improve the possibilities in the future.
For the moment, buying Android, whatever you do with your device, is supporting Google and their vision of the world. And they are quite winning ;-)

I have the solution for you as well: Xposed Edge
With this app, I can use my Android device the SAME as I use my Sailfish device.
Swiping from the sides gets me to the home, swiping up the app drawer, and swiping down closes the running app.
Sailfish OS is a full blown Linux operating system and almost everything you've learned by using Linux servers or desktops is applicable to SFOS: cron, scripting, crypting, tunneling etc. Comparing SFOS to Android is like comparing a computer operating system to an application.

The other day last week I needed nmap so I just cloned it from github and compiled on the device...

Python?

Building and running Node.js?

gcc?

No, you can't, probably. Dialog page with text fields/inputs, comboboxes and then swipe to confirm/save instead of hit button on Android, pulldown/pullup menu...

Code:
[root@Sailfish nmap]# make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
Code:
pkcon make install
Nope, pkcon didn't work.
