If it has secure boot, is opensource, and not dependent on having a single entity approve of self compiled binaries OE blobs (like UEFI forcing Microsoft’s approval of bootloaders), then heck yeah, this might be great! Otherwise, if it’s just some proprietary, closed source alternative to the existing crap, my enthusiasm is limited.

Being tied to a state like Huwei is, is just as bad as being tied to a corporation.

The machine translated version of the Fast Technology/mydrivers article does not mention any of this.
That’s disappointing. But maybe once they officially release it, we will have more information.
