Oh, so you want to eliminate your desktop and laptop and move to a single mobile platform with, ideally, Fedora as the underlying OS.

Just my opinion, but I don't see mobile platforms (smart phones, tablets) as exclusionary devices but complementary.  As long as there is a way to easily share content between devices and one is not locked into proprietary formats I'm happy.  (I see folks have reported MTP being supported in the most recent kernels.)

I personally don't see any advantage but I do see potential pitfalls in taking the route you're contemplating.
