Agree to disagree on the first bit, but > I'm actually much more interested what, if any, portable OSS tooling will be built around this computer. The interface to the rack is built around the classic API-first strategy. We provide an OpenAPI document describing the whole API, and the console and clients are all generated from it. HTTP is, of course, cross platform. > illumos may be a perfect fit for this rack scale computer, but can you imagine the mindshare gained by simply having all your cool new tooling work on Linux? illumos is not a user-facing aspect of the rack. There's no reason that tooling would be illumos specific. The API clients I refer to build on Mac, Windows, and Linux (the CI runner is Ubuntu but have no reason to only support it) as well as illumos.
