Linux desktop and Sailfish OS are kind of mutually exclusive things in the sense the Sailfish provides a home screen, i.e. "desktop". Gkt+ applications could perhaps be possible, but not necessarily an API that is going to get official support. Also desktop applications and widget sets don't likely work nicely on a small mobile device as they have not been commonly developed with finger usability in mind. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
