Yeah, maybe I should try one of those at some point.


I guess I should admit that at some point between the N9 and the early Jolla days I gave up on the "phone as mobile computer" thing and eventually bought a MS Surface (the x86 unlocked one) which runs Gentoo quite well.

Half of the reason is that I was completely tired of having to rebuild everything on the phone. Not only different architecture, but different distro, different packaging system, different API versions, ...

With an x86 laptop, I just run the same kernel and user space I run on the rest of my computers. The amount of time saved is a godsend. You still cannot do this on ARM because, I guess, everyone is an idiot and they are very happy with the status quo.

In addition, physical pooooooooooooorts.
