While surfing through the net I found something really interesting for our Nexus 5. It's titled as Maru OS by the original developers. It was the first time I heard about it, so I thought I'll paste it here so that people get to know more about it and if someone has used it, they might share the experience. What this amazing OS does it it turns your desktop to Debian Linux as soon as you connect your phone. That's something really interesting. Wanna know more? Checkout this link here.
If you wanna know about the hardware which the dev supports, try this.
Maru is open source, read it here.
Maru FAQ page for current users is here.
Note - I'm not the original developer. I'm just promoting the devs awesome work. I believe in Maru. Checkout the screenshots to see it yourself.

Good afternoon, I asked and checked for a build with no success. Does it is only in the developer's hands?

We all are waiting eagerly, my friend. He said he'll give links to people in batches as to when they subscribed. I hope I'm not too far down the list.
I only signed up 10 days ago so I should be in the last batch but hopefully the batches are large and the site is capable of handling the traffic when the links are live
BTW
I been using Debian for the last 3 years on my PC so I'm really looking forward to having it instead of android for carrying round
Also i wonder if the Debian screen could be output via Chromecast/miracast think I will have to email and ask
Edit:
I just got my beta links but will need to download files read the documentation and flash it then I can come back with some first impressions but I'm still waiting for my slimport cable to arrive so can't test the Debian side for a few more days
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium HD app
First impressions are good not laggy ships with google play but no other google apps has a nice boot animation
Will upload that in a bit need to root it first
Now some screenshots
And no it does not output via chromecast
Also Chromecast app eBay and play music I had to install from play store

Congrats man. Sounds good. Yeah, it's very minimal. Did you try it on a desktop?
Not yet still waiting for my cable to arrive
Not sure if its because I haven't connected to a monitor or not but if its running Debian at the same time as android then I have yet to feel any lag or slowdown

If connecting to the pc is your problem, it is almost certainly an issue of drivers on the windows side.

I think the whole floating chat head thing was a gimmick. It had very little function value. Multiwindow is where we need development

+1. I found the floating windows thing intriguing but the overall user experience of Halo just frustrated me for the most part. I'm not sure I'd use multi-window much on my Nexus 5 but my Nexus 7 is crying out for a well-designed, stable answer to it.

Yeah its not like the notification bar is ever far away anyway.
I do use multiwindow on my "5". Mainly when I want to copy and paste from one thing to another (XDA perhaps?)
good.
HALO was terrible. too much of a gimmick. very little functional improvement
I was a fan of halo loved it in full screen games etc ..
Hopefully they have something up their sleeves .. I got a feeling they do

Well damn, here it is on the Nexus 5 Paranoid Android thread, where they got the link from. At least look at the link on the site I posted before commenting, or hell search the PA thread. I think a PA Dev knows if it's happening or not, and since that's who posted it, well.... it's kind of true. Here's your link.

I tried to get into Halo once. Didnt find it useful because, like someone else said, the notification drawer wasnt far away. It was useful if you had the statusbar hidden but thats it. And I don't like the statusbar hidden. Hopefully whatever they come up with next will be better.

Yeah I checked out the link on the website. I actually posted the same one up in the PA thread an hour before yours lol. Just don't see the need to make a thread in general regarding a rom that's in the development forum. Plus it's better since the PA devs can actually respond since they don't monitor general cause it gets constantly cluttered with questions and pointless threads.

Not into official builds but it's in a few unofficial builds and it looks ready to push out. It's really nice man. I'm actually trying to find a good custom cherry picked Omni rom.
