I've been and I am still pretty lucky to own and use one Nokia N9 and last year got Intex AquaFish. The former is amazing device based on MeeGo, the latter working just great with newer SailFish! For now the only really usable substitute to iOS and Android out there. Support Jolla and their community and pray they manage a break through. I am just a fan of Jolla, not an employe or in whatever way connected to them. I am following this through the years and it is like David against Golliat. For now Golliat wins, but David is still not defeated completely. If someone wants to help build a real FSOS for a phone, join and support their community. Don't waste your time for nothing. What for would I use debian on my phone exactly? What desktop environment is suitable on a phone? Where are the drivers for the hardware? I've seen such enthusiasts in the past ... what happened to all promised OSs for smart phones? Dead. If someone knows how to build OS for a smart phone this should be Nokia or better ex-Nokia and they really deliver ... still things to improve, but not just promises and shiny photos of useless stuff, hobby-hacking and waste of time. What is exactly the benefit? Do not understand me wrong, I wish those guys luck ... but I doubt it will bring something. regards
