In summary, a moving target of proprietary hardware can
not be tracked effectively by a community of volunteers,
enthusiastic and energetic as they are. A necessary
condition for the communal approach is a relatively stable
open hardware specification. Some years hence, an ISO
standard handy or tablet might be possible. Probably cell
support should be ignored until significant progress with
the "carrier contract" problem.
No thoughts about the original topic? More specifically,
"... installation of debian armel or armhf or arm64 or
similar, using one of the apps, "Linux Deploy" and "Complete
Linux Installer"."
