With this announcement, they could even consider FreeBSD! (Which will run Gnome, btw)

FreeBSD gains eMMC support so … errr … watch out, Android

if FreeBSD has only just gotten eMMC support, what hope does it have for everything else on the device? graphics drivers? wireless drivers?

Anyway from their position it seems that they want to give you the option to run whatever you want on it, regardless of what it comes with out-of-the-box.

On the other hand, there is a rather popular OS that is also based on BSD. If I could only remember which one

Orbis? (found on the Playstation 4)
or the one on the Nintendo Switch?

If they were going after the Android and iPhone groups, they should advertise more on sites where those types flock.

That doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, I found out about this project here.

yeah marketing sucks as usual :/

But at least Lunduke show, Linux gamer, planetkde and planetgnome give it some attention. But they should do more.

Let's hope something happens in the weekend...
