their in-house Workbench distro seems really cool, looks super light and minimalistic. IMHO it's also priced reasonably enough.

sure hope you can choose which side that ten key is on

That's quite the long esc key. An ortholinear layout would be nice too.

"Get out of your way" is marketing speak to cover for missing applications. I've rarely seen such a blatant piece of marketing. "A computer for experts". Any computer with access to a terminal prompt is a computer for experts.

I’ll be really happy if this becomes a market segment. A commercial desktop specifically for technical users on Linux is great to see.

Its cringe to see something for enthusiasts cost 2k$ and have a keyboard layout from 100 years ago. I expect nothing less than ortholinear with thumb clusters

the choices made on the keyboard layout seem weird to me, though I do like the left hand numpad. But the big esc? the Fn key up top right seems like it makes key chords with it kind of hard. No ins key? no prt scr? is that 3 ctrl keys? or is that a caps lock? arrow keys etc seem a bit far away from main keyboard...
