- Founders from early Apple and Apple spinoff General Magic.
- Built a new Linux-based operating system.
- Their OS used an all-new, consumer-focused UI toolkit and userspace, and avoided playing around with any of the existing concepts from legacy linux distros, using GTK or QT, etc.
- They were acquired by Google.
- By many measures, the Linux operating system they built is the most popular OS on the planet, with more devices than macOS, iOS, or Windows.
Even with all that success, I'm not sure I'd say they had a major influence on the existing open-source linux distro "desktop environment" community.
