Lomiri
CodeFest
Build the Next Generation of Open Apps — in 2 Days
Imagine a world where your phone, tablet, watch and pc all run on the same system — one that you truly control.
Now imagine building an app just once… and having it run everywhere. That's the vision behind Lomiri.
Imagine technology
that is truly yours.
Lomiri is a convergent operating environment that brings full Linux distributions to all your devices. From desktop to tablet to the mobile phone in your pocket, Lomiri gives you the complete power of Linux everywhere, with real applications, real multitasking, and real freedom.
It's fully open source, which means no hidden code, no restrictions, and no one controlling what you can or cannot do. You are in control. You can study it, modify it, build on it, and share it. That's the true power of open source: freedom, transparency, security, and independence.
And it's not just theory — Lomiri already brings Ubuntu Touch to your phone and delivers a fully usable daily driver experience today, proving that open technology can compete with — and even surpass — closed systems.
