       @tuxdevices > As we said earlier, it is also not going to run mainline Linux kernel until some months-long effort is done in upstreaming its Unisoc Tiger T7510 chip. Yeah... Hard pass

       @tuxdevices I despise iOS so that and the price tag are turn offs for me. Either way, wish them luck.

       @controlfreak It depends. Their work on the JDE UX was quite well done when we tried it, it was essentially a "mainstream Linux tablet OS" which is quite rare to see. The kernel is, indeed, the weak point of it all, as we wanted to highlight. We usually like to balance between the pure "enthusiast" niche (the one I more closely partecipate to, since I am a somewhat of a mainline kernel hacker myself) and more consumer-y Linux projects to keep a wider target.
