Hackday with Jolla, Mer and Nemo Mobile in September 2012

Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on free software, and open source projects such as Mer as well as including a closed source UI. The project is being developed by the Finnish company Jolla.

The OS first shipped with the original Jolla Phone in 2013; while its sale stopped in 2016, it was supplied with software updates until the end of 2020. It also shipped with Jolla Tablet in 2015[5] and from other vendors licensing the OS.[6] The OS is ported by community enthusiasts to third-party mobile devices including smartphones[7] and tablet computers.[8] Sailfish OS can be used for many kinds of devices.
