havent used nokia for years, never touched an n7 or n8 device, never used linux and it was the first time i heard of maemo ( and i used to call it may-mo) lol. but i did what ur doing now; a solid 5 days reading on the device; bookmarking and stumbling on this site before i ordered it; now am confident in most areas....terminal; flashing; overclocking etc. i even have people asking me what to do with theirs. best device ive owned and will def buy the next version. the communicaton intergration is what does it 4 me.
