When we are mentioning "Linux", are we talking

A specialized environment running over Linux is not a Linux Desktop distribution.
Native software may (not always) run faster than software built on a framework.
A Linux Desktop will give you full flexibility but not an impression of increased speed.
A RK3188 is not an i7 - the former is 10 times slower, the latter drains your battery 10 times as fast.
As I wrote, the new hardware platform will probably be comparable to a Raspberry Pi 3.
You can run Raspbian on it etc., but if you try it, it will probably not be your choice for a production machine - this out of experience.
I am not really acquainted with what Remarkable did, but I understood they optimized native software.
EDIT: I believe the best of both worlds is to use Android in high portability cases - it was born for that -, and a Linux desktop interfaced to the device, but run by something not irritatingly slow, when a full desktop is required. (Then there's RemixOS...)

Many thanks for lessons gratis!,but why i have to buy an ereader device to load others stuff than books?, and make the reading process comfortable?, why to have Play store to load a lot of app whm i don't care? whilethe reader app built-in is buggy?
isn't better to improve the app built-in than to embed Android-xx?
