Yeah Linux is definitely not backed by a company, and certainly not several of the biggest companies in tech </sarcasm>

I did not say it was a good thing. Neither did I say that it is how it should work. All I said was that it is how it does.

What does that have to do with Linux's use base?

if we all had been contributing with one cent/a line of code for every useless air-fried related discussion here, now we would have collected just an hundred billions of dollars/euros

...let's come back on the earth, guys. for every interesting point someone point out, the discussion eventually seems to drift away.

While it sounds nice from an outsider's point of view, I'd rather not build on such old dinosaurs.

I once tried to port Cordia to run on the WeTab in an effort to build a custom UI on top of Mer, but that damn thing was buggy as hell, flickering and in general not working well on any screen resolution other than the one of the N900.
It was based on opensourced Nokia code that wasn't even built by Nokia but by subcontractors who left a pretty mess IMHO.

Hildon was finally abandoned because the code-base was not really maintainable IMHO. The Hildon desktop is opensource.

Rebuilding the Hildon look & feel with QML and lipstick makes a lot more sense to me and opensource lipstick where Jolla invested lots of work is the perfect tool for this.
