Pear Linux is an Ubuntu based operating system that mocks the design of Apple's OS-x and IOS. As of the late 2013 thing were starting to look up for this french OS; they had a kickstarter for a mobile platform, they held a contest giving a way a high quality YOGA tablet with their OS pre-installed, and overall their fanbase and community was growing. Then 3 days ago it disapeared. A formal notice was listed on their site that reads:

Pear OS and Pear Cloud are no longer available for download.

Its future is now in hands of a company who wants to remain anonymous for the moment. The concept has pleased them it and now wants to continue and improve the system for their own products. I can not give a name but it is a very large company well known ...

I want to thank all users, moderators and other developers who have made Pear OS it is today, that without this adventure would not have been possible.

I'm going in another direction.

Pear Cloud users must recover their files on Pear Cloud servers.
In 10 days (january 31), the files will be deleted and the server will be offline.

Another big thank you to all and I hope to return to the scene of open source very quickly.

Cordially.
