Gaël Duval (born 1973) is a French entrepreneur. In July 1998, he created Mandrake Linux (which became Mandriva Linux, now discontinued), a Linux distribution originally based on Red Hat Linux and KDE.[1] He was also a co-founder of MandrakeSoft (which merged in Mandriva, now discontinued) with Jacques Le Marois and Frédéric Bastok.[2]

Gaël Duval was responsible for communication in the Mandriva management team until he was laid off by the company in March 2006, in a round of cost-cutting.[3] Duval suspected part of the reason for his dismissal was disagreement with management over the company's future strategy, resulting in a lawsuit against the company.[4][5]

In 2016, he co-founded NFactory.io, an incubator-accelerator of "startups".[8]

In November 2017, Gael Duval created the /e/ mobile operating system,[9] which is a privacy-oriented fork of the Android-based LineageOS accompanied with a set of online services.[10][11][12] In 2018, Duval founded the E Foundation, which maintains /e/,[13][14] and ECORP SAS, a privately held corporation, which operates their online sales and services sites.[15][16]
