It has all I need :-D

More seriously - well availability of some more advanced GUI or Office software would be a bonus.
But currently, the main drawback I see is that Ubuntu has more or less dropped the ball on "Ubuntu Touch" (and as this is still an ARM smartphone under the hood, libhybris running solution like "ubuntu touch" are mandatory).
So it's going to be difficult to bring Fedora/Ubuntu to this, SFOS seems the only way to get some "real" GNU/Linux.

Also chen rightfully said he wanted to keep the number of OSes options low, specially regarding OSes he doesn't use on smartphone and doesn't know well.

I can't wrap around my head that sailfish would be possible but say archlinux doesn't work... What's blocking that?
Many distros with ARM support...
