What's odd, I actually hope that both are successful in taking away attention from Android and iOS.
But Google IO is one week before them both, so that will invariably eclipse them both.

If I'm a reporter or boss of one, and have to budget coverage for one or the other.. I'd rather go to the Google IO or Samsung events LONG before looking at Jolla. If somebody is trying to eclipse the other, and it turns out Jolla is trying to steal focus away, I would bet against them succeeding at all.

How open is tizen as a platform, is it possible and easy to install the standard gnu tools and utilities to it, or is it crippled the way android is?
For me tha most important thing is how the device behaves on the console level, the UI is not that important.

It's not actually, this has been explained in quite a bit of detail before, why just blatantly make things up.
At this point it's probably worse than Android, it's certainly not "wide open"...

Sure, it's pretty obvious that mind-share for Tizen is higher than Nemo/Sailfish in mainstream media*, whether it's warranted or not.
That bubble can burst quite quickly though, depending on how the complete packages compare in the coming months...
From a technical & governance POV Sailfish has been more interesting for the longest time, but it ultimately comes down to how well it's all tied together.
Tizen had at least 4mth head start & has been backed by 2 massive organisations**, assuming both products are out at roughly the same time, I'd expect Tizen to be more polished OOTB.
Better offering overall is another matter entirely though, that won't become much clearer until both devices have been out for at least 1mth.
Longer-term if barely anyone else rolls out low to high end Tizen devices, then at least Samsung can keep churning them out.
Jolla doesn't have that luxury, they'll have to rely on more OEM partners stepping-up & joining the Sailfish Alliance....
*this is after all the project that managed to insert into mainstream lore that it's the successor to MeeGo
**although one of them has become increasingly passive for some time now
