Thank you for telling me why I don't want to get an Android. The only
way I can get WiFi at home is by connecting to some neighbor's unsecured
hotspot, which I don't like doing, and without WiFi this trick doesn't
work. Of course, if I did have proper WiFi access, I'd feel
differently. It's good to know that there's a way to swap files with an
Android under Linux, even if it's not practical for me.
AFAIK (I don't have any Android devices) the restriction to MTP is only
for some recent smartphones, notable the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (not the
"Android Galaxy Nexus" as the OP has it). Others can be connected as
disk drives.
