I don't think it's out of the question, having tried Raspian I have found a lot of the things it does that RISC OS can't do, it does very slowly, so providing dual boot is a possibility, there is a potential. However, I suspect we'll get a reasonable amount of returning users, rather than new ones. -- Jess Iyonix
