Tizen is a general purpose OS. It is supposed to work on a wide variety of platforms like PC, TV, Automotive, tablet, phone, printer, camera. It has everything needed to be a general purpose OS. We do have developers who expect to be able to build Tizen source on Tizen.
What do you think is missing that keeps Tizen from being a general purpose OS?

Good analogy. Here's another one: Engineers and executives of a tractor or lawn mower company drive BMW and Ford to work because tractors and lawn mowers are not general-purpose transportation vehicles. The point is that Tizen is not a general-purpose OS. Self-hosting might be a nice feature, but it need not be a requirement. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
