  Yeah lemme go buy that fire ass Linux phone that folds and has support for my office products and also isn’t totally busted half the time. Where is it?

    That's Android. You want an Android. Buy a Samsung and flash whatever rom you want onto it.

      So the alternative to Microsoft is Google?

      I dunno, that sounds very Out of the frying pan and into the fires of hell to me.

        No, the alternative is an open source rom on Samsung's hardware. No Google required, at least for now. Though I do expect that to get much more difficult in the future.

        Android is literally Linux, and also you can put whatever custom rom you want on your phone. Write your own if it's that big a deal to you. Don't stick with stock Android, but if you want a customizable phone, that's your option. Microsoft and Apple don't give you the option for custom firmware. Android does.

    Opps. I thought this was a windows tablet. (Even then it’s still bad)

    Closest thing is a PineTab?

    Or

    StarLite?
