Has anyone been watching the JingOS project?

It is from China; although there were promises for GitHub pages at the alpha 
release there isn't one currently online. :/ Hmmmm...

However, they dropped an alpha version 0.6. Its based off Ubuntu and KDE [Wow, 
like all the cool kids these days.] and has some cool touch gestures already 
baked in.

They've created a couple apps already... a calculator, calendar, a 
notifications pull-down and a system settings pull down. Really, it already 
feels 'like a tablet'. 

It has support for the Surface 6 and another flagship Hawaee [I don't remember 
the brand..] tablet - it can be run on any x86 system, for testing tho. I can 
see how this could be really nice on a touch-scree monitor, mounted on a wall 
for controlling a smart home.. Home Assistant AND a full Linux OS. 

And, a Linux OS tablet would be awesome... they promise ARM support, later, 
too. 

The release schedule is March for version 0.8 and June for 1.0. The March 
release is supposed to have some more features and apps, and the June one is 
SUPPOSED to be fully cooked. We'll see, this alpha release IS missing a lot. 
You have to setup wireless with WPA supplicant if you want it, but... I didn't 
even trust it to be connected the the network as of yet. 

I hate having issues with people because they are from China and they don't 
have a Github up just yet - I wouldn't care if it was someone else, and 
probably use many tools that aren't from the west - and just don't know. 

Anyway - JingOS. Looks neat.
