From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Software seems early days and I doubt the SoC is really the bottleneck as Anthony makes it out to be.
But $700? yeah… makes it a hard sale for what it offers right now.
Maybe in a year or two after further software improvements.
It doesn’t even have rotation.
There are definitely some rough spots. They intend to have rotation working soon, but I was surprised by that omission as well.
Probably a DE issue with realigning all the windows, icons, or other UI elements. In their defense, Windows tablets are just as inelegant with this as when the first Surface dropped. Hope it’s not an accelometer driver issue though.
i agree, i think the price is way too high but if they can actually get the desktop apps to work then it may be a pretty good cross over machine.
