Ok, well, but doesn't this kind of answer your original question? If you're doing this much work just to make Android tolerable, just how "Android" is your Android to begin with? Presumably, a more GNU-like distribution (or, for that matter, pretty much any normal Linux distrubution, GNU-like or otherwise) wouldn't require a whole lot of tinkering and package manipulation to be "tolerable".
So is, for example, the command "uname" part of the GNU porfolio of software? I obviously need to learn more about this. Anyways, I have no problem with tinkering in that tinkering is part of the fun, although perhaps masochistic! Actually, what I have described is pretty routine for folks that play with Android. Also, many folks on these threads, despite starting with a more GNU-based distribution, do a heck of a lot of tinkering to make their phones "tolerable"! At least I did with the N900. I'm neither pro or against android. It just so happens that the best overall hardware has android on it so I use it. But believe me, I'm delighted Jolla is around.
