is there a hope for n900 to run sailfish os

Re: is there hope for running sailfish os on n900
 

Remember - porting is one thing (and I know not wots wot there) and usability / enjoyment is another. Sailfish - 2012/13 OS; n900 - 2008/9 hardware. Hmmm.......

I would love to be wrong.

I thought N900 users are more experienced users and there won't be a dumb thread like this, I'm wrong.
Luckily no one is asking it for N8x0 (for now)

What about other hardware? My dream is to be able to choose my hardware and my OS separately, does Sailfish bring that dream any closer to reality?

Yours and everyone else's of a FOSS mindset....

Sadly, no as no OS can operate without hardware drivers and those are what phone manufacturers are notoriously bad in releasing as opensource. Thus the n900 still labours under the burden of specific binary blob hardware drivers. Sailfish would need such to operate on one or other pieces of kit.

There are completely open handsets - google around - but cutting edge they 'aint.

This comment will show how very little I know about any of this...but why is it possible to get Android to run on the N9 and N900 then? But not the reverse.

Elrond: Why do you linger here when there is no hope?
Arwen: There is still hope.
