The worlds really could use a "free" mobile OS. I was sad that Firefox OS never saw daylight. Im on android and dislike google very much, though not as much as I disslike Apple. Purism is making a Libre 5 mobile, I hope something like that could really break through. Imagine a desktop/server world without linux. Thats would be awefull. Yet thats where we are with mobiles today
- amiga-workbench 8y agoFirefox OS is now known as Kai OS, its available on devices like the nokia banana phone. I've still got a Mozilla Flame developer handset and it all runs surprisingly smoothly.
- gregknicholson 8y agoFirefox OS is open source. KaiOS is closed source. KaiOS may be a continuation of the same product, but it's not a continuation of the same project.
- jammygit 8y agoPurism's Linux phone is in development. Version one will surely be low in features, but it sure has potential if it can survive a few iterations
- JVIDEL 8y agoSailfish is another alternative.
- snaky 8y agoThe only realistically feasible free mobile OS is Android actually. AOSP to be exact, with no Google Play Services.
