Fascinating... "Endless OS" looks to be a sort-of walled-garden intended for deployment in third-world/poorly-connected-places.

Whatever happened to "One Laptop Per Child" ??

I guess it was overtaken by cheap Android phones and equally-cheap/pervasive data-infrastructure from companies like Safaricom?

It appears to be a private Linux distribution running on ARM hardware.
