A few things about this stand out:

- Calligra with two 'l's is the name of a KDE office suite.

- Why does the keyboard have macOS keys? At least as a Linux user, I've felt like most Linux desktops reflect the Windows keyboard layout more.

- Can I have pictures of the internals of the machine, or is this a 3D rendering?

- The Workbench OS makes a lot of claims that I want more information about. Is this a rice on a common WM or something they made themselves? Why is it "suitable for sovereign and secure deployments"? Won't having homebrew and DNF lead to conflicts (this is more of a general question, since I genuinely don't know)?

Nonetheless, I have to say that it does look cool from a design perspective, and with the pace of DRAM prices, maybe the actual system price won't actually be that crazy in a few months.

To be honest, every time I see something this paper-thin yet slick and polished, I just assume it's mostly AI slop. The barrier to launching vaporware has never been lower.

Content over presentation is a signal for quality more than ever.

IIRC there was a live stream where the creator went over the prototype.

So this probably should be the top comment, but I'll reply to add to my nitpicks. Calling it workbench OS does confuse a bit from the amiga workbench, although I doubt these people are aware of that.
