I'm really interested in a Debian-quality DFSG Android app store. Debian's apt repository is truly the "app store" that I have chosen to trust.

- cure 6y agoSame for me; Debian's apt repo is my computer "app store" of choice. On Android, the F-droid app store (https://f-droid.org/ https://f-droid.org/) comes closest but it has nowhere near the breadth of the Debian repos.
- nitrogen 6y agoWasn't the old Nokia Maemo OS based on Debian? I seem to remember being able to `apt-get install` things in the terminal on my N770 (or whatever the model was) tablet.
- ISL 6y agoYes.
- heavyset_go 6y agoYes, and it was glorious. I keep one running for fun, and there are people still working with whatever Maemo transformed into.
- m4rtink 6y agoFor the record Maemo spawned among other things Sailfish OS (running on my dakly smartphone) and many current mobile Linux distro projects can trace their lineage to Maemo on the Nokia N-series.
- heavyset_go 6y agoYep, and I think a few Meego derivatives might still be out there, as well. Also, Maemo was revived as Maemo Leste for platforms like the Pinephone, although I'm not sure how active the project is.
