I'm with you. I want to buy things that don't need constant fiddling to keep them working. I want them to silently do their thing, supporting me in the background while I focus on mine.

But it's great knowing that I _could_ drop down a layer at any time. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable about relying on an ecosystem to know that it has redundancy in the support layer. For example, if Remarkable themselves go out of business, will I still have access to my documents? Will they still receive updates? Will I still be able to buy replacement parts?

Yes, yes. It just works, but if I need to I can pop open the hood and shell in, and then I'm back at home with Linux.
