"Get out of your way" is marketing speak to cover for missing applications. I've rarely seen such a blatant piece of marketing. "A computer for experts". Any computer with access to a terminal prompt is a computer for experts.

ehhhh, i disagree partially. a less cynical take would be to call it “opinionated”.

any computer can be for “experts”, but that’s not the same as delivering something preconfigured and opinionated.

nobody has actually seen this thing in action yet, but in my head it’s hardware + some opinionated linux distro (i imagine something like omarchy) + support.

certainly not what everybody would want, but if there are people that enjoy configuring their systems then there’s people that don’t.
