LuneOS is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by WebOS ports community. With a user interface based on direct manipulation, LuneOS is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard.
LuneOS is the open source successor for Palm/HP webOS where the user interface is rebuilding from scratch by using the latest technologies available (Qt 5.2 / QML, WebKit 2, etc).[2] All devices can have a LuneOS port if they have a CyanogenMod rom available and that works.[5]
