'''Sailfish''' is a [[Linux]]-based [[mobile operating system]] developed by the [[Sailfish Alliance]], a division of [[Jolla | Jolla Mobile]]Jolla | Jolla Mobile]] upon cooperation with the Mer project (and also supported in frames of [[Sailfish Alliance]], an open alliance gathering companies interested in), for use in its upcoming [[smartphone]]s andby Jolla and other companies upon Jolla's licences. Is is intended for more than mobile devices. It is based on [[MeeGo]] and [[Mer (operating system)|Mer]]. It can be assumed in future as MeeGo 2.0. 

==Design==
The Sailfish OS and the Sailfish [[Software development kit|SDK]] are based on the core and the tools of the Mer operating system core,<ref>https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page#Contribute</ref> which is a revival of the core of the [[MeeGo]] operating system project<ref>https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page#Introduction_to_Mer</ref> of [[Nokia]], [[Intel]], and [[Linux Foundation]] among others. Sailfish includes a multi-tasking user interface that Jolla intends to use to differentiate its smartphones from others and as a competitive advantage against devices that run Google's [[Android (operating system)|Android]] or Apple's [[iOS]].<ref>{{citation | title = Jolla OS Will Run Android Apps Says CEO Jussi Hurmola | url = http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/375368/20120820/jolla-os-running-android-apps-jussi-hurmola.htm}}</ref>

The Mer project provides a functional core Linux stack but without any UI and without any hardware adaptation: Mer does not provide a system kernel. T and hence can't be booted itself as it is. Otherwise: the Mer-based Linux distribution Nemo provides a functional UI framework and it has its own UI and kernel and application set that is compatible with Sailfish. However, Nemo applications are not at the moment included in Sailfish OS and the UI is radically different.
