I am about to give up on Android. I have an Android phone. Once the new Phoenux (GTA04) brings pure Linux back to a mobile phone, I will ditch that as well. I have an old Android tablet, and I just never got into it. And I love Linux variants and playing. It is just too much cruft on top of what I care about. So if Vivaldi will not come to be, and the alternatives are so so (I did see that project to make a RPi into a tablet with a custom shell; very cool), I am definitely going to pony up the money for a tablet laptop with a touch screen and just spend a little more and save myself the hassle. I have seen decent reviews of the Yoga 11s. I think I am going to splurge on that. Honestly, it is not much more epxensive than a high end of the line Android tablet, but with no one of the flexibility I waste my time on Linux for so. So yeah. If someone makes Vivaldi I would be super happy. But I have come to see the truly open tablet as the year of the Linux desktop, in terms of them being pipe dreams, and I would rather focus on things I can use instead of praying for hostile industry players to begrudgingly give me and then make me do a song and dance to get back to root for.
