Speedy, 09 Jan 2022Tizen is a copy of Meego os developed by Nokia, after Noki... moreI have used this Nokia's Meego series phone, it was amazing on those day. N90 I had I think.
And yes it was Sailfish based OS basically.
Sadly Samsung rebranded it in the name of Tizen in 2017. That time I was sure this won't even continue till 2020.
Still Stock like pure Linux based OS can still work in 2022 especially on affordable phones, so that people can escape from Google. But question is who will do that.

Quericus, 09 Jan 2022Well....another mobile OS down the drain again, just like B... moreThere is a new OS made by Google, called Fuchsia OS. Huawei might also use it, and Samsung as well. So there will be another option beside Harmony OS.

Well....another mobile OS down the drain again, just like BlackBerry OS. :( That leaves HarmonyOS as the sole one left, and it's not viable yet. Are there any non-Google Android smartphones available?

I knew it. never trust Samsung when it comes to OS development.
I had a bit of hope they would continue Tizen on the wearables seeing how successful it was on the smartwatches, but even that was sacked for WearOS.
Samsung is like the typical meme dad. Goes out to buy cigarette, but never come back. They never learned from their own mistake. All they know is develop an OS, but they never really know how to nurture the ecosystem around it.

Kangal, 09 Jan 2022People here are misinformed, or just plain lying. Samsung ... morewebOS could be faster now but my 2015 LG TV is the slowest I‘ve ever used. Not that it makes it unusable it‘s just rather annoying.

Too many security holes in a UI written with 90's methodology. EFL, on which Tizen was based, was neat to show off in its day, but that was a very long time ago when the movie "Hackers" was state of the art. I can't believe that somebody in the 21st century tried to make a modern interface based on that steaming pile of garbage. Maybe if they were pledging the entire stack, but I don't think there was much hardening, if any, on Tizen, and pledge just kills the offending app, which is unexpected behavior for the overwhelming majority of tech illiterate smartphone users.
