I support having options and not being forced into using only products that run a shitty operating system.

That's the problem though: ChromeOS is also a 'shitty operating system'; so too is iOS.

I'd like a tablet like this which just let me run plain old Debian. Sure, the window managers and apps probably don't support touchscreens terribly well right now (certainly StumpWM won't), but … that'll change over time.
