Comes pre-installed with a Debian-based distro. It's basically a regular computer in an e-ink tablet form-factor. You can use whatever language and whatever toolkit you want to make your apps. `dialog` works. VT-switching (Ctrl-Alt-F<n>) works.
It's got its issues. For example, the preinstalled virtual keyboard feels kind of unusable. Keypresses sometimes don't register if you don't hold them for long enough, and they sometimes don't register if you hold them too long, because then it opens up a menu for look-alike characters. wvkbd (another virtual keyboard) works much better, but it's not compatible with the preinstalled wayland compositor, so you'd need to switch to sway or something, which is perfectly doable.
Anyway, as the product page says, it's kinda beta-phase, but I'm personally satisfied with my purchase.
