Additional Info

We provide a true GNU/Linux experience which evolves along with the base Linux distribution from which it is built on top of. Maemo Leste is the only multi-device mobile Linux distribution that prioritises the use of mainline Linux. We hope that Maemo Leste will help to raise awareness of the importance of running mainline Linux which may eventually lead to increased consumer demand for devices that are compatible with mainline Linux, leading to improved options when choosing a smartphone.

Enduser Relevance

Today’s smartphone industry is dominated by the Apple and Google duopoly. This leaves those of us who value privacy and software freedoms with virtually no options. Maemo aims to put an end to this dire situation.
