This is nice and everything, but I still remember the story about them from half a year ago where they basically rolled their own proprietary firmware updater instead of going with LVFS, which even a big player like dell managed to do. This is just bullshit and pretty much working in the opposite direction. Wasn't really impressed with them there.

Not sure one mistake disqualifies all a company’s products, especially since none of them have a perfect track record.
