Oh no arguments on tuxedo, they do great work.
But my point still stands that Tuxedo can NOT leverage the same kind of sales to get the pricing that would keep them competitive against Dell purchasing. In fact, Tuxedo would likely become a brand you would not want to do business with if they hit that kind of scale.
So for Tuxedo to offer that support, and keep prices in check, they offer 2-3 year old components.
So if we want them to succeed with ARM chips in 2 years, we have to hope ARM chips reach a scale that Tuxedo can benefit from for better pricing.
Along the way, we have to hope Qualcomm keeps up streaming better Linux support and experimental distros, so nerds like me can install a working distro on hardware becoming out this year.
The more interest there is in corporate sales, the faster we get better Linux support for end users.
