What's the point of trying to run Linux on tablets? I don't get it. It's not like Linux is a successful desktop OS. It's broken and held together solely by the willpower of distributors. I don't use GNOME on my desktop and I wouldn't want it on a tablet either. I don't want to carry some gigabytes of brokenness around..

Is there some awesome application which runs only on Linux? I'm really curious, please tell me if you know of any.

If not, we already have some browsers, PDF viewers etc. Is this the kind of thing where the opensource guys try to write the 5000th tetris game "just because they can" and "the tile colors aren't perfect in any of the others"?
