Good review, even though he clearly doesn't like it.

1) I don't love Fedora/RHEL derivs very much

2) Fuck "MOK" ... sounds like the Ubuntu scheme
to entrap everyone in their cloud services.

3) I'm not gonna buy all new hardware just to
run their distro (and half my computing is

You can build perfectly good and secure servers
on top of vanilla Debian, Arch derivs or even
Centos (if you can stand the Gnome DT (I can't))
or some of the BSDs. In short the world doesn't
need Origami or their weird schemes.

But then everybody thinks they have the Better Plan.

It probably is a Better Plan, for some subset of the market. As the
reviewer says, this distro "underlines how important it is to have
multiple distributions in the world. Not only because I very much want
to use an operating system which is the polar opposite of Origami
Linux, but also because I'm aware there are probably lots of people in
the world who will be delighted to have a bleeding-edge,
Flatpak-focused, Wayland-powered, immutable, build-optimized
distribution. People should have the freedom to choose what they want,
whether I like it or not. Just as I would like to have options which
match my workflow and preferences."

They work !

And fairly low-end laptops and PIs do everything I need
these days. Don't do video games. Don't do 8k streaming.
Not running a corporate web server.

Still have a working Core2-Quad ... and it runs quite
well with Linux. WILL run 8/16 bit apps, you can boot
CP/M-86. Also has plugs for floppies on board. A keeper.
