Still has a different distro, packaging system, etc. and most probably I wouldn't be able to use the same kernel and user space I use on my other computers (binary blobs, gfx, etc.).

It's one of the reasons I still prefer if ... Sailfish Tablet was something I could install on top of Gentoo or any other normal Linux distribution.

I'm aware of the many reasons this is not feasible. It's just a wish.

I still remember the GPE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPE days and how I basically used the "in-device" GPE calendar itself on my desktop after being annoyed by non-existent sync support...
