Yeah but it’s hard to find the hardware this OS is designed for. There’s little need for it. Compared to the oodles or low powered arm boards out there that would love this. So the missed opportunity is just that a lot of effort has gone into a very narrow platform that would probably be more appreciated on a diff platform

Super cool project though of course
