@denizg
I'm confused. Maemo is Linux. Meego is Linux. Sailfish is Linux.

What do you want to do on the N9 that can only be done on the N900?

With that logic, some could go further and say osx is linux, android is linux, etcetcetc

@azkay maemo/meego/sailfish is pure FOSS linux based systems with own desktop environment and components only. Android and ios/osx are linux based.

True.
All of these are "pure GNU/linux" that use glibc and unix-like windowing system, either X or Wayland.

True&False.
Android is linux derivative with it's own library framework, it uses bionic instead of glibc and surfaceflinger instead of x-like display environment, which makes it not so straightforward to port existing linux applications to it.
IOS/OSX on the other hand are not linux derivatives, instead they are based on BSD unix with lots of Apple-made middleware and fluff.

I did say *some*, I don't see them like that. That's just what people try to give me when they try to one up my phone because "dont u no android is linux 2"

Well I have to agree...

I am an owner of N900, N9 and Jolla, and still using my n900 as a third phone.. When I look at it I remember how great was to have a desktop like experience on my phone, with a nice keyboard, different number of desktop, widgets...

Now even with Jolla we still miss those kind of features..

NO!!!!!!!

OSX and iOS are NOT LINUX BASED!

It can be said that it's BSD based, but it's also not correct. Read up on the topic, stop spreading misinformation!

well, whether it be NeXT, BSD or whatever, the heritage is there anyway.
