Hi!

In the last days Planet Computers started shipping the Gemini PDA which 
has Android installed by default but features a Linux dual boot option.
There will be an option to install Sailfish OS as the Linux OS.

For most buyers the motivation to buy the device is not just Android 
with a keyboard but the option to use it as a productivity device, 
including office applications and development software.
Currently the only option for this usage scenario is Debian. Ubuntu 
should follow soon.

Is there a realistic option to have e.g. gtk and a Linux desktop on 
Sailfish OS?
A Sailfish OS with Android compatibility and Linux productivity 
applications would be the perfect OS for the Gemini PDA.

Regards,

Dietmar
