Sailfish OS is a mobile operating system developed by Jolla. It is based on Linux and uses the Mer middleware platform and Qt framework. Sailfish OS allows running Android apps and uses a swipe-based user interface instead of buttons. The OS provides strong multitasking, privacy features, and monthly software updates. It can be used on devices such as the Jolla Phone, Nokia N9, and some tablet PCs. Sailfish OS is open source and aims to be lightweight, compatible with Android apps, and customizable.
3. INTRODUCTION
•A mobile operating system , also called a
mobile OS , is an operating system that is
specifically designed to run on mobile devices
such as mobile phones ,smartphones, PDAs ,
tablet computers and other handheld devices
•Sailfish is being developed by Jolla in
permanent cooperation with the Sailfish
community.
4. HISTORY
•Sailfish 2.0 is currently in development for
mobiles and the announced Jolla Tablet.
•Sailfish OS 2.0 is developed with a continuous
integration model, with the aim to provide
monthly software updates to all Sailfish OS users
and development partners.
5. Elements of the sailfish os
•Technically stronger OS
•Improved Android application compatibility
•Strong multitasking (one of the most important
advantage of the OS and declared to be the best
one at market)
•Strong privacy and personalization features
7. What is Sailfish OS?
•Linux based operatingsystem
•Runs on Qt/QML , HTML5 andAndroid app

one component of an operating system based on
the Linux kernel.
12. ARCHITECTURE
•Mer is a part of the operating system above
the linuxkernel and below the graphical user
interface.
•Mer can be compiled for a number
of instruction sets.
•Mer is not an operating system; it is aimed to be
one component of an operating system based on
the Linux kernel. .
