Considering that they are the only pro-Linux company in a position to start delivering to my country, that might just be my only option.
So, as long as they let me install custom stuff without restriction and have enough Linux support for the hardware they choose, they don't even need to do any special repairability stuff for me to happily give them my money.
Oh for sure. They're no saints but they're very far from the worst option out there, and they've been making some massive contributions to the linux space in general. I'd gladly grab something they made if they happen to be one of the first on the scene - look at the Steam Deck and what it's done for the handheld space.
Had they added a cell SIM slot to the deck, I would have just bought that.
