I would hate to see FFOS compete on an already saturated desktop linux market. Maybe if it was focused, such as a competitor in the chromeOS space, it could offer something specific and beneficial. RPI and other Single Board Computer support would be cool but another part of me has to ask: to what end? maybe something needs to be done about the app driven integrated space? I guess I'll wait for an official update with new information to see.
