Real linux or not, putting out a mobile OS platform is a considerably ambitious and expensive enterprise. Let's not even address user adoption at this point.

A "geek" friendly phone will always conflict with the need for decent market adoption. Ubuntu on the desktop is "awesome" but according to current market adoption numbers, no one cares.

Any new mobile OS needs to at least match or exceed Android or WP 8 and demonstrate the capacity for breaking new technical grounds in (AI,voice recognition,location & commerce). It's a tall order. I applaud the folks at Jolia for trying but from the look of it, they're not there yet.
