I'm not sure Perifractic's Commodore is ready for millions of customers with half-baked conceptions of how computers work, what they should do and how they should do it.
He's used to dealing with technically-inclined folks of a certain age, not the average computer user, let alone those a standard deviation or more below that.
This is one of those situations where I'd like to be proven wrong, probably because I'm blowing it out of proportion, but better if he actually manages to step up. Even more so if he manages to engineer a legacy that can't ensh-ttify the moment he's no longer able to head the project.
It's a stupid strategy for a stupid Linux distro from a newly bought company that has barely yet legs to stand on, not to mention products or income. Their market is to cash in on middle aged surplus nostalgia money of 8/16-bit computers. Now they are putting themselves on the line to become support for any number of clueless users with random computer hardware for their own Linux distro and a fuckton of freeware games they shovel along with it any other software people want to run and they will get absolutely nothing for it.
I was thinking before that will become yet another chapter of the Commodore trademark ownership saga from bad business decisions to the next and that chapter seems to be shortening itself fast.
