       I noticed an interesting distinction on how electronic products are advertised.On the one hand, there's electronic devices that are very mature, like USB docks, PCs and tv screens.On the other hand, there's smartphones, tablets and smartwatches.

       Mature electronics all care about their functionality and compatibility."Oh yeah this will magically work in pmuch every scenario and is compatible with 20 different things!""You probably don't know if those things are protocols, ports, OS'es or software, but trust me, this has nice specs and works great everywhere."

       I just wanted a USB stick. I came home with a cutting-edge device with 256GB 400 MB/s SSD USB 3.1 (WITH backwards-compatibility to 3.0 and 2) that connects to whatever I want....cool I guess 😬

       On the OTHER hand, there's the tablets, smartphones and smartwatches.They don't care about specs, they advertise with gadgets.

       "Wow, this one has a pen that you can separately buy for way too much!""This one has nice colors!""Look, you can freaking FOLD this thing!""Wow, now I can also pick a red or blue color on the back!"

       I just want a tablet where I can unlock the bootloader and run Ubuntu Touch on it.Loading Linux on a desktop isn't so hard, why does it need to be on a tablet?
