[jolla tablet][request] complete linux environment

Hello!

Please make a tablet software more closer to desktop linux.

Including:

  • coreutils and other standart GNU (and not only) tools.
  • package managing util (of course with dependencies support)
  • gnu compilers, so you should be able compile other tools on device without problems.
  • buildt-in ability to become root (su, sudo).
  • filesystem for user data should be normal linux fs, supporting hard and symbolic links
  • Android cut this, unfortunately, but you should: this way almost any linux program would become runnable on sailfish, and that is great.

    Thanks.
