I have a Gemini and use it daily with Debian, especially while commuting
by train.  It works perfectly fine for me, using stumpwm & emacs (gnus,
org mode) primarily.  The system is robust for my use case.  However,
others are less impressed, especially with respect to graphics
performance as there is no acceleration.

I don't use it as a phone so cannot comment on that aspect.  Whether the
radios can be disabled or not is something I don't know either.
