... My main hope is that they change the way multi-tasking works sooner rather than later. Apps are still COMPLETELY frozen when not focused. Which makes absolutely no sense as they're targeting power users / techies / FOSS enthusiasts initially.
Hmmm, that in a sense is a problem for those of us without loads of boodle - wait a bit for a better specs device? But, I want it now!

And I hope that they allow one to override the default re multi-tasking. I absolutely understand why they may want that default for reasons of battery-life but linux is about choice and living with what ensues.

PS. As I read more, I see with the scopes rather than apps approach as deployed at present, multi-tasking in a desktop sense does not come into play. So, what will one be able to install on this device outside of the scope of scopes?
