Heyyy, I quite liked Symbian OS! And if this means that Linux would finally work on hardware other than Thinkpads from 20 years ago, I say heck yeah (Out of the box I mean, having to become an expert linux afficionado to be able to make its x11/wayland/xwayland clusterfuck to work does not count as working)!
Symbian Belle on C7 and E8 was already quite sweet, for users, and for developers we were finally moving away from Symbian C++, with Qt and PIPS, Eclipse based IDE...
Finally it is going to be the year of SuSE Linux Desktop, and Jolla.
Maybe we could have a second coming of Nokia N900 as well.
