The odd thing is that this disguises as some bare metal, hackable device.

Their TUI[1] is planned to use react(!), to share logic with their BrowserUI[2]. In the repos you can see how they struggle to get anything gpu backed done (which is required by the browser). Then falling back to wayland to do it for them. (This all seems a mess that LLMs can't figure out.)

Anyway, it does seem to end up in a custom linux desktop environment, with lots of sharp edges that makes it less hackable.
