And in spite of Nokia being fundamentally in the dark, not really helping: it was a wildly successful scene. People were rabidly excited and doing incredible things with their devices, in cross-modal between phone/laptop/desktop ways. The core of technology had great interoperation points. It's weird because my whole point is that the freedesktop mentality means no one company ever is that important to the device. And your point is that Nokia was terrible at Maemo. Yes but? Yes but: it didn't really matter. The ecosystem was incredible, intense, vibrant. If you leave the door open, people will do amazing things with your platform. And even if the company burns the platform, burns the ships, a lot of people will still probably spent a decade being vociferously dedicated to the platform. https://maemo-freak.com/community/ https://maemo-freak.com/community/
