Intel abandoned MeeGo?

Question

linux

It so happened that the Nokia 6310i, which had served faithfully since 2003, failed. I want to look after a phone based on MeeGo (impresses that Linux is on board and what you can file for yourself), from the choice only on the Nokia N900. But I read this news: here, and here . that Intel is ditching MeeGo. Is it so? does it make sense to buy N900? If anyone used this device, what is your opinion about it?
And just like that, is it possible, if desired, to file on this device, for example, Archlinux for ARM?

Answer 1

You know, you're really a little behind the times.
1. First there were Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin
2. Nokia released several devices on Maemo, of which only one is a mobile phone, the Nokia N900. This was in 2009.
3. Nokia and Intel teamed up, merging Maemo and Moblin into MeeGo.
4. Nokia released not so long ago (this month, it seems) a new mobile phone on MeeGo (a slightly controversial issue, but let's not delve into the wilds of holivars) - Nokia N9. At the same time, the Nokia N950 was released, which, however, is not sold anywhere, but only issued to the developers of Nokia itself.
5. A little earlier, Nokia announced that these would be the last MeeGo phones, de facto abandoning it.
6. After that, Intel agreed with Samsung to create the Tizen OS - they say that part of the MeeGo code formed the basis. MeeGo itself was donated to the Linux Foundation. Here are the links to the news about this you threw.

Answer 2

You are two years late...
Well, that's not the point, there is only one device on Migo - N9.

Answer 3

Linus can be installed on a relatively wide range of devices.
And not only MeeGo.
I had a piece of iron that could be booted in Android, Linux (uC), Win CE.
Only - why?

Answer 4

And I would buy the N900 (one more :)).
