Will Salfish run on PC? (not in virtual machine) - Jolla General Talk Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

I see that there's a Tizen OS around which can run on PC. I think it's great.
Is there any plan for Salfish to do the same thing?
Sine Tizen and Salfish are both based on Linux and open source, I think there should be no obstacle for Salfish to be archetecture independent either.

Sailfish or Tizen only makes Sense on a Touchpad driven device. On a usual stationary non-touch driven Device there is plentiful Distributions that can handle each possible need. the Gesture based UI is what makes SailfishOS special. Not the Linux-Kernel.

i for one can't see a Task on my Rig that would not be covered better by Arch or Debian or RedHat or a buntu or ... or .... or ... or ...

I suppose it could be useful to play around with if you're a dev, but I have to agree that a gesture based interface would never be ideal to run as your main 'PC' OS IMO.

Might become useful on a tablet ... although the interface should be optimized for larger screen estate. I also do not see the point in installing it on my laptop/desktop.

Maybe tablet is more suitable for it...
