Yeah, I've been using n900, and looking at Tizen & Ubuntu. But I'm kinda sick of the whole "Cellphone as Media Player plus Game Console" that the world has been turning into...

You can run as well chrooted linux if not real dualboot on android.

But why bother with the hassle (and the warantee-voiding implications) when you can get a fully supported standard Linux distribution instead?

but phone is a tool and not a game to compile kernel.

Exactly. Which is why I'm finally getting off of the stupid "smartphone" merry-go-round myself. The smartest phone today is one that handles telephony alone; everything else is just a crass attempt to dig more dollars out of your wallet for no significant value in return.

The Jolla tablet is arriving just in time for me to shift all my mobile computing materials onto a handy non-phone portable device.
