From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Apparently there's going to be an nvme HAT.
Should have went with stock support from the get-go, tho. Why? Because nvme lasts ""forever"" and is ideal for servers.
But that would increase the already quite high cost for all users, including those that don't necessarily need it.
Don't get me wrong, I think the price is arleady too high and for the price I'd have expected more than a faster SoC, but here we are.
You got a power button too /s
I think f4om the comments on the blog it was that nvme would make the board too think, that's why they opted for a HAT
