But having the computer of your dreams means either making sacrifices (Running a VM atop a bloated OS, on a tablet for example, while lugging around an additional keyboard) or building it yourself from the ground up. Having something else, something more simple and often having something more text oriented is a wish I have now seen often at different places on the internet. Maybe there is something missing, maybe just a place to tie it all together, leadership, or maybe its just that everyone wants something so slightly different, that there can be no concerted effort? But certainly people with such wishes would benefit if there was some groundwork laid. And I also think showing instead of telling what we could have could also positively impact the rest of the ecosystem.
