Meego is common core you say but what "core" was it? was it a UI/GUI or was it an OS?.
<snip more nonsense>
Read this .
Device drivers are either integrated directly with the kernel or added as modules loaded while the system is running.
In Mer, device drivers are not integrated directly.
In Hardware adaptation, they are, for the Hardware they are adapted for (why doesn't that make sense to you?)

The graphical user interface (or GUI) used by most Linux systems is built on top of an implementation of the X Window System.
In Mer the GUI is not. (but the X Window server is implemented)

Mer is all the rest. The OS core. What is not device or UI dependent.

Maybe you just don't realize that there is a enormous lot of code between the GUI and the drivers?
