Thanks for the kind words. This same statement got me some criticism on Lobsters rsrsrs. It is fun how the exact same phrasing can sound cool to some and bad to others. I liked writing it though <3

They larger laptop, MNT Reform, has been shipping for a while. Some friends of mine have it and I've met Lukas and played with a prototype at Fosdem long time ago. It is a real thing and it is a beauty. I'm saving for one.

Jesus, the amount of people jumping to conclusions here is staggering. Heck, if I could do jumps that long, I’d be an Olympic athlete. Bogdan is active in the Racket community and his Koyo framework is really well built. Any cursory search

Thanks for taking the time to compose such deep feedback. :-) I appreciate it a lot. I didn't go deep into why Linux didn't work for me because the article was already too long and I felt no one was going to read it. I'll sum

Be careful of thinking that your own personal experience of something can be extrapolated to other people. Each of us experience distraction and lack of focus differently. What may not be an issue for you, might be a big thing to others.
