GNOME 3 is actually quite usable, I would never go back to GNOME 2

That version of the Jolla Tablet had to have been pre-production. Look at the twin SD slots and the power adapter being the original ODM version which was later changed to microUSB.

I have a Lastu Case, and from what I can tell, the tablet will indeed have to be put in rotated in order to have the headphone jack pointed up, but you'll lose access to the USB port and the microSD card slot.

EDIT: Well, shoot. I took another look at Lastu's current catalog, and they've still got the headphone jack pointing down. So now I have no clue how these covers are being manufactured...

I purchased my case directly from Lastucase - missed the IGG version but I've received mine.

Note: A nice gesture would be to purchase a case from Lastucase in case the Jolla IGG campaign covers are never paid in full by Jolla to Lastucase. Their products are pretty darn nice indeed.

In any case, it might be best to invest in a good pair of bluetooth speakers instead. According to the latest rumors, headphone jacks are going out of style...

Aw c'mon. You know Apple just wants to push their proprietary port/plug!

I dunno.

On all the various electronic devices I've had, I have to admit I've had more problems with the headphone jacks than with any other port. Wearing out, getting dirty, breaking in one manner or another, even electrical problems. I've had to switch to USB audio cards on two of my computers after the built-in headphone jacks started going wonky.

But this may just be me.

And yes, I know that Apple always likes to do anything to lock in their users. But still, I bear no love for this particular interface...

Someone did - and called it Cinnamon

Same here. I've never understood why the more WindowsXP like UIs are so popular with some Linux users. It's what held me back from using Linux for years. It's still not as nice as the Mac UI but making it look like Windows?

People like a familiar UI, because they are too lazy to learn something new. Also, when you are presented with an unfamiliar UI, you often hate it, because you immediately notice that the tricks you'd learned about your old UI don't work anymore, and you do not yet know the cool tricks the new UI allows.

So is that why a lot of folks here don't like android? Just asking...

While you do not get tablets and Sailfish is not FOSS, Apple opensource Swift

War ?

zypper - package manager used on OpenSuse (and also available for Sailfish OS)
apt-get - package manager on Debian
yum - package manager currently used on RHEL<=7 and Fedora <22
dnf - yum replacement (#unlike yum has sane refactored codebase and works with Python 3)

Also note that package manager is something else than the packaging forma - zypper, yum and dnf work on top of RPM packages while apt-get works on top of dpkg/deb packages.
