WRITTEN BY Paolo Del Bene 1st July 2024 at 06:13:00 pm '''or mobile devices''', sometimes referred to as '''mobile Linux''', is the usage of [[Linux]]-based operating systems on portable devices, whose primary or only [[Human interface device]] (HID) is a [[touchscreen]]. It mainly comprises [[smartphone]]s and [[tablet computer]]s, but also some [[mobile phone]]s, [[personal digital assistant]]s (PDAs) [[portable media player]]s that come with a touchscreen separately. Mobile Linux is a relatively recent addition to the [[Linux range of use]], with [[Google]]'s [[Android (operating system)|Android operating system]] pioneering the concept. While UBPorts tried to follow suit with [[Ubuntu Touch]], a wider development of [[free software|free]] Linux operating systems specifically for mobile devices was only really spurred in the latter [[2010s]], when various smaller companies started projects to develop [[List of open-source mobile phones|open source phones]]. ==Lists== ===Operating systems=== This is a list of [[Linux distro]]s directly targeted towards use with mobile phones, being offered preconfigured with the mobile-oriented software listed below. There are both phone producers who develop their own operating systems and independent developments by community projects. Outside of these, several traditional distros have versions compiled for [[ARM architecture]], which could be configured to use these components. This is done, for example, with [[Manjaro]] by the [[PinePhone]]. <!-- Please respect alphabetical order --> ====Active==== * [[Android (operating system)|Android]] ** [[/e/ (operating system)|/e/]] ** [[Android-x86]] ** [[Android Go]] ** [[EMUI]] (Non GMS compliant) ** [[Fire OS]] ** [[iodéOS]] ** [[LineageOS|Lineage OS]] ** [[One UI]] ** [[Replicant (operating system)|Replicant]] ** [[VollaOS]] ** [[Wear OS]] ** [[GrapheneOS]] ** [[List of custom Android distributions|Other custom Android distributions]] [[File:MeeGo and co timeline.svg|thumb|[[Maemo]] Timeline]] [[File:Mer and mobile operating systems.svg|thumb|Relationships between [[Mer (software distribution)|mer]] and [[Tizen]]]] * [[AsteroidOS]] (for wearables) * [[ChromeOS]] (for 2-in-1 PC and Chrome Tablet) * [[EMUI]]/[[HarmonyOS]] (EMUI 12 onwards) * [[Fedora Linux|Fedora Mobility]] * [[KaiOS]] * Kindle firmware * [[LuneOS]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tuxphones.com/2019-everything-running-linux-smartphone-guide/|title=Running Linux on your smartphone: everything you need to know in 2019|website=TuxPhones - Linux on smartphones|language=en|access-date=2019-06-09}}</ref> (based on HP [[webOS]]) * [[Maemo Leste]] (fork of discontinued [[Maemo]] based on [[Devuan]]) * [[Manjaro|Manjaro ARM]] * [[Mobian]] (based on [[Debian]]) * Mobile NixOS<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mobile.nixos.org/|title=NixOS on my phone?|website=Mobile NixOS|language=en|access-date=April 4, 2023}}</ref> (based on [[NixOS]]) * [[postmarketOS]] (based on [[Alpine Linux]]) * [[PureOS]] * [[Sailfish OS]] (based on [[Nemo Mobile]]) * [[SHR (operating system)|SHR]] * [[SteamOS]] (Powering [[Steam Deck]]) * [[Tizen]] * [[Ubuntu Touch]] (discontinued by Canonical, adopted by UBports Community) * [[webOS]] * [[Kali NetHunter Pro]] (Based on Android and Kali linux) ====Discontinued==== * [[Bada]] * [[Firefox OS]] * [[MeeGo]] * [[Moblin]] * [[Openmoko Linux]] * [[OpenZaurus]] ===Smartphones=== {{See also|Comparison of open-source mobile phones}} [[File:Librem5 phone convergence - screen keyboard mouse.jpg|thumb|[[Technological convergence#Cell phone convergence|Cell phone convergence]] with the Librem 5]] Phones with Linux preinstalled: * [[Librem 5]] * [[Necuno]] * [[PinePhone]] * [[Volla Phone]] * [[XFone]] ===Middlewares===<!-- Please respect alphabetical order --> * [[BusyBox]] – small footprint alternative to [[GNU Core Utilities]], under [[GNU GPLv2]] * [[Fcitx]] * [[Halium]] * [[Intelligent Input Bus]] * [[Maliit]] * [[Mer (software distribution)|mer]] * [[Smart Common Input Method]] * [[Toybox]] – [[BSD license]]d alternative to BusyBox * [[Uim]] ===UI===<!-- Please respect alphabetical order --> * [[GPE Palmtop Environment]] * [[MauiShell]] (and MauiKit)<ref>{{cite news |last1=Crume |first1=Jacob |title=Maui Shell is Here, Ushering in a New Era of Desktop Linux |url=https://news.itsfoss.com/maui-shell-unveiled/ |access-date=16 January 2022 |work=It's FOSS – News |date=30 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Maui Shell is a Beautiful Vision for the Future of Linux |url=https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/12/maui-shell-convergent-desktop-for-linux-devices |access-date=29 January 2022 |work=OMG!
