Secondly, Ubuntu Touch.
And as everyone has been able to see, Steam for GNU/Linux has been working out fantastically well and will certainly not be dropped or 'left in the community's hands' in the foreseeable future.

Let's first wait and see how much devices will actually be sold.

As to Tizen watches and other 'wearables': I'd be extremely surprised if, in 10 years, there will even be 'smart watches' or any of that other fad nonsense at all, let alone ones running Tizen. 2013 is going to be the year of smart watches! No wait, 2014! Actually, we made a mistake, it's 2015!
