Just like kde 4.0 and wayland were not marketed to consumers and yet consumers used them anyway and then decided latter releases marketed to consumers must also be bad.
“Early KDE 4”, but I’d add that the distros are also to blame for packaging it in the main repositories when it should have been stuck way out in some dev repos, out of sight of users. And of course, KDE 4 was actually quite good once it got the kinks worked out.
And I bought my last laptop specifically because it didn’t pull this crap. I was going to buy a T-series Thinkpad to replace my previous T-series, but the soldered RAM and lack of expansion slot killed that, so I got an E-series instead because it didn’t have soldered RAM. I still have it 7 years later.
I’m not buying a laptop with soldered everything unless it’s literally the only option.
A $200 board with soldered 8GB RAM and 64GB storage.
It is not marketed for consumers. It’s a development board, and the first one at that. Check the videos from the team, they are on YouTube.

That’s the future of RiscV. (The soldered down everything part)
How come?
Cheaper, better high-speed connections, lack of upgradability.
a great number of laptops are already doing this. Apple lead the way.
