If we have a commercially successful device, it might just be enough to get other suppliers interested. e.g. Chuwi has some nice looking, decently spec'd tablets/laptops which dual boot Android/Win10, and a lot of interest in hacking them to run Linux on the web. Can't help thinking it wouldn't take much effort by Chuwi to put together a distro that can use all the hardware and kick their sales up a bit more?
