| While waiting for my Youyota Sailfish tablet (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/youyota-sailfish-os-2-in-...), I'm using a Sony Xperia X phone as my travel computer. It was simple to install Sailfish X: https://jolla.com/sailfishx/ Bluetooth is a bit patchy at the moment (the keyboard drops out occasionally); I'm waiting for a software update to fix that. (Jolla's updates are frequent, so I'm not fretting about this.) Now, it runs Linux, with a proper terminal, and a suite of software - I'm using Emacs with SBCL and Erlang. (I had to compile Erlang - not a problem at all!) Going through your list: - SSH 'out-of-the-box' - Emacs (or Vim) - not quite Ubuntu; it's RPM based - a smaller form factor than iPad Pro, but that's what the tablet will hopefully rectify! - proper multitasking, unlike Android or iOS Plus, I get telephony, and VPN support in the OS. Compared to iPad and Android tablets, this is a breath of fresh air - no idiotic hoops to jump through (rooting the machine); simple to transfer files via SD card, USB, or just use SCP from the terminal. Root access is just a 'su' away. |
