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.

In addition, physical pooooooooooooorts.
Sadly this would work with jolla tablet too in worst case scenario (assuming with store down enabling developer mode still works, on phone it needs to call home to some repos to download fingerterm etc, one should still be able to install fingerterm rpm manually and modify access rights I hope)
