Maemo really was impressive, and to think how far it could be with more than a decade development and refinements had Nokia managed keep that team on it.

Sailfish OS still seems to be going, and latest and installable on Sony Xperia 10 V. Though that is based on Meego which was what replaced Maemo and ended up on the Nokia N9 and was no longer Debian based IIRC.

Tizen OS was the other offshoot of Meego and Samsung was working with it, but they appear be abandoning it.

I never had the chance to pick up a compatible device try them out.

Nokia was able to keep the team, AFAIR Nokia kicked them out (and Nvidia hired a bunch of them).

I tried Sailfish for a while, but it got progressively slower and I vaguely remember some weird Russian involvement?
