I think that you have missed the point. I completely agree with you that
using a tablet as a proper work horse is a none-starter. That is *why* I said
that there is no point going to the effort of replacing the already competent
enough Android OS with Linux as the increase in functionality would be
minimal. (I wouldn't be without my peoper qwerty touch keyboard app and don't
know what a Linux equiv would be like)
i do not see this in the post i responded to adn especially
not in the context you responded before
As for never doing serious work on my computer, you know absolutely
jack s**t
about me or my 25 years in the business
see above - you responded to "I'm not... It's an utterly useless machine
for
almost everything that I do" - so you have learned to make your context clear
in the message you write and not in the message you thought you write
