Remember LiMo, which became Tizen? What about MeeGo?

I think I had a Samsung watch that used Tizen but it's not exactly prevalent outside of their devices. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see more mobile Linux, but Sailfish seems the best bet to me and even so has a pretty limited device selection, and hardware is way too variable still.

A standard and modularized base for phone hardware would be nice, or maybe something like Pi but for phones.
