It's not just an OS, it's an /e/OS.

Yeah, it's an OS that gives a browser error because it thinks the name is a path.

  • Yes, their choice of name was not their greatest achievement.

    • it was supposed to be a temporary name, that i believe was intentionally chosen to be bad to make it easier to replace later. they were under pressure because the original name eelo had a trademark issue.

      when they eventually found a new name "murena" it appears they then decided to use it as a brand for the phones that they themselves sell instead, keeping /e/OS as the name for the operating system
