I have very low confidence that it will ever be anything but vapour, given the project leader's previous record e.g. this project fully funded in August 2016 and not yet delivered 7 1/2 years later.

The project updates (last one in 2020) are painful to read.

A competent outfit such as Pine64 or Sipeed can knock a project like this out in 6 months. They could have been subcontracted given the $234k raised.

Before the micro-desktop, that person was also involved in some KDE/Plasma tablet, which also never shipped.
