Hi Jeremy

I noticed a large number of laptops on the website. Are you going for a support a large number of devices(Microsoft&Linux) approach?

I think you should go for an Apple/System76 approach. Less hardware, but fully supported.

I would buy a tablet/laptop/desktop preinstalled with Redox.

Counterpoint: I am a filthy casual and won't buy a computer just to run Redox, but I will try it out on a computer I own or in a VM just to kick the tires.

I prefer Redox OS to support as wide a set of hardware as possible.

My question is: is there any potential for sharing nvme code between a rust Linux driver and redox?

It is unlikely. The driver models are very different, ine being a microkernel, the other monolithic.
