Yes, that is LimeOS, which is a sister OS to Symphony OS, to clear up any confusion.

if everyday people buy these, they will be treated like devices. as in, think of the os as firmware, not software.

when the decide to go with linux on these things, they dont expect people to install stuff left, right and center. they expect them to use it as is, and thats it.

its like a overgrown non-smart mobile phone in a way.

hmm, linuxdevices just popped a item on them:

and those "screenshots" looks very familiar...

And of those who do, what percentage will immediately wipe the OS du jour and put on something they actually want?

Fail.

Look, MIDs have to standardize on ONE flavor/variant/mutation of Linux. Everyday people are NOT going to scour the Net looking for something that will work.

Eh, scratch that. Everyday people won't be buying these things to begin with.
