Maemo Leste is a free and open-source mobile operating system,[1] a mainline Linux distribution for smartphones, tablets and electronic devices.[2] It is based on Devuan[3] ("Debian minus systemd"[4]), plus Maemo components.[5] It is totally independent of Android.
History
Maemo was a Debian-based distribution developed by Nokia in the early 2000s. It was used on the 700 and 800-series Nokia phones, and finally on the N900, N9, N950 and similar phones.[3] After Nokia was taken over by Microsoft and switched to Microsoft Lumia OS, the open-source community continued to provide software support and make new software work on the old phones, which remain in use 15 years after they came out, as of 2024[update]. Maemo Leste is an updated version of the Maemo OS.[4][6]
Initiated in 2018 by Ivan Jelincic and Merlijn Wajer,[7] the project aims to reuse the Maemo components in a fully FOSS environment.[8] Its target users are members of OSS communities.
Maemo Leste is based on Devuan, with mainline kernel; it is used with the Hildon GUI. It ports much of Maemo 5 "Fremantle", but eliminates the closed-source components that made Fremantle hard to maintain, while maintaining the Fremantle API.[8][3]
Funding
Maemo Leste is partly financed by the EU grants: NGI[9] and NLNet.[10]
