There are a couple interesting-sounding claims made here but there is basically no detail to be found, which strikes me as odd at best and suspicious at worst.
Yeah it's a bit odd. I can get a sense of what they might be doing and perhaps it's a compelling product but no where near enough info to go on, let alone reserve one for $99 and later buy at $1999.
The OS sounds like bluefin-dx, but I'm struggling to figure out who they're marketing to here. Seems like a small market that System76 already owns.
I was confused by the command symbols, since most Linux distros use the ctrl/alt/super terms. But they have some hardware too with integrated keyboard (do any other desktop computers do that anymore?). The custom keyboard layout is both interesting and kinda awful (biggest escape key I've ever seen).
It looks like they're trying to be "linux for apple ex-pats".
Man, thats a confusing setup for what this is, of which "Workbench" is a reduced desktop environment on some (custom?) linux distribution. All of which runs on the Caligra "developer terminal" (viewable on the home page https://caligra.com/ ) which, from the single top-down photo they provide, looks like a slightly more modern Commodore 64.
looks like an AI design to me. no way the escape key needs to be that big.
Seems to be unrelated with Calligra Suite https://calligra.org/

They should change their name in order to not confuse anyone since it's targeted at existing Linux users

Apparently too many Apple influences on what is supposed to be a Linux distribution.
