I am not really want to tamper Android system files but would like to have access to hardware and even running some Linux environment on the phone (that is why N900 was really good for me).
Basically, I am using Linux as desktop and want to have similar features like if I was using my notebook but on my phone.
I am also thinking the use of f2fs on my MicroSD card to extend its life, etc.

totally crappy app, it's pretty funny when it tells you it preventing ads and spying on you and just next step adds it's own vpn server to spy on youtrue adblocker needs no vpn servers. this one isn't true. and pretty predictably - it's not working: ads on Instagram are still there. please don't advice any apps if you haven't tried them by yourself.
AdGuard sets up a LOCAL VPN that blocks and filters out the content for you.

It blocks literally everything, yes even ads on Instagram
Stop trying to troll people and do your homework ffs.

I feel sad about people over here are really stuck to their N900's OS without looking and seeing what is happening around them. A LOT of things has been changed in the past 10 (!) years.
Maybe you guys should actually try or at least gather some recent information about nowadays other OS's instead of blindly shouting stuff about things from 10 years ago.
You would see that the N900 is literally missing out almost everything in 2019...
It's already time to let the N900 retire and look forward to something else, to something that the N900 was doing, but in a better way.
Pro 1 is the most closest device that you can get to achieve this.

And waiting for both Pro1 to deliver and Maru OS to enable their "nearly any Android device support".

Android is tracking you so that google can sell adds. Annoying as hell it is seeing adds inside apps but there are far worse tracking going around and there's nothing you can do about it. They don't give a shite about anything else. Governments abuse that data far more than google.
And in a day and age when most people willingly put their life on internet and do most stupid thing for their 5 minutes of fame it's kinda pointless to talk about privacy. Sure, there are some systems which are worse in that regard than others, but ultimately it's much more about the users than about the systems.

An excerpt, just for you:

Yet, just because it's definitely not easy (or even completely possible) to hide, doesn't mean we have to surrender and obediently bask in the joy of using every tool they throw at us.

So no need to add/accept more, right ?

They don't give a shite about anything else.
They're way past just dealing with the mere ads of yore.

Man I hope the Pro1 isn't buggy as **** on launch, otherwise i'm sending mine back and grabbing one of my 6310i's out of the drawer, my N900 is starting to become ridiculously unstable and slow!

So I guess I'm also hoping that Fxtec is successful in producing it in quantity. I don't really need one -- at least until there's a functional SFOS port on it -- but I do want one.
