Forget even getting maemo on a soon to disappear single model device.
Aim smarter at a universal solution that has longevity across the board.


So rather in response to the actual thread question.

1- mer = one of the best chances still I believe...



2- maybe ...

it is getting a little old and hairy now...it may take some work.



3- and this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuIrRoRPufc

Moises did a few youtube vids ..this has a very good chance to become a full distro...I did try contacting him a year or so ago for ideas and help ...no responses...you could try maybe get through to him..I think an official maemo rep writing him may get a response and help...or enough maemoans writing might do it too..

.I think this would be the best progression of maemo...freeing us to move in any direction...not just a specific device..or only embedded...or only ..whatever.



Myself ...I've extensively studied this topic and I come back to this project of freeing maemo from specific devices every 6 months and plug away at it..I have been personally successful...but in the grander scheme of making it easily distributable hmm..not quite yet... I can't say I'm overly successful since it's just lil'-ol'-me working at it....

I will say this though concerning getting maemo 4 or 5 to run on a tablet or laptop or convertible laptop-tablet.
The BEST success I have had is with the toshiba portege m700, m750 and m780 ....it is literally the best laptop-convertible-tablet with touchscreen and penabled interface that has worked stellar in regard to using maemo properly like we enjoy it.
