Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

Windows has been a pretty garbage os for years. Linux is so much better in many ways. The only thing windows has is a few applications that have yet to release a Linux version.

If we could get office, Adobe, and autocad on Linux, we could see droves of people switch.

Gaming is basically all set on Linux at this point. Just a few games that have not setup to work due to anti-cheat, but screw it. I don’t need them.

A lot of VR stuff just doesn't work either. Also a good bit of streaming services seem to have troubles.

I've only encountered problems with Peacock, but it's not officially offered where I live, so I have been OK with Netflix and Disney Plus.

I have never tried VR. I have issues with balance as it is and I am pretty sure VR would trigger balance problems, but thanks for pointing it out. For those who are interested.

Adobe would be huge, but what would be even bigger is if it came pre-installed on a computer you buy at Walmart or Best Buy. Otherwise, no one's going to want to switch from what they're using unless the thing they're using bothers them. As annoying as I find Windows Updates to be, most people don't seem to notice.

That’s a great point. I wonder if people would buy it and use it without really noticing or if they would be upset because it’s not windows or whatever.

There will be different amounts of friction depending on the customer and what they expect. If all they need is Chrome and like one or two other Electron apps, as long as they're walked through the software center on first boot, quickly. But there will be friction when one odd customer here or there expects program X and it's not available, even if there's a very viable alternative. They'd have to educate their customers through marketing like Apple does to ease that transition, and Apple still only has a single digit percentage of the PC market.
