Looks interesting, but I won't be pre ordering when the only info they give about running Linux is "Linux as an app". Do they mean something like UserLand that's sloooooow or something like the linux terminal, that still has very limited graphical acceleration support and is still unusable for full desktop usage?

Either option sounds really bad and not worth it to jump ship for me.

I suspect its something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu....

The windows thing is very interesting but samsung and motorola have fairly polished desktop frontends and are available with much snapoier hardwear.

I believe somenifbthe newer pixels are starting to verge on useable docked also.

Yeah - that part is disappointing as well. I'd be glad if it included Wayland support, native touch input, full OpenGL and Vulkan support - but I'm not counting on it.
