“Amiga console”: there have been several reports that they are not able to reveal the underlying operating system of the Amiga according to the 2009 Settlement Agreement.
Eh? What reports? The underlying OS is Linux, they never kept that a secret, they also came around to set up git repos for their open source components as well as WHDLoad setup at
https://github.com/retro-games-ltd - I take it for granted that the THEA500Mini just uses the ordinary requirements of WHDLoad, typically an old 1.x A500 kickstart and a 3.x A1200 kickstart. And the licensing is here:

If there's anyone here not revealing the underlying operating system here, it is you guys - no mention of operating system, no mention of what emulator that is used.
So that maybe a reason it is referred to as a console and not a computer. It would be awful to refer the Amiga as a console in any instance. It was never a toy.
Ever heard of the concept "FUD"? You're sometimes full of it - Amiga was _also_ a toy - in fact, that's largely what it was, and today even more so. It's just crazy diehards like me that use Amiga for "real tasks", most people - apparently you included - mostly just care about games, games and more games. And a shiny desktop with icons from where games can be launched. You haven't even bothered to answer the simple questions - what do you do with all the PPaint filters etc that rely on ARexx? Which version of DOpus? What's the purpose of a 4GB version when the emulated system only can use well below 2GB - to run several emulated envs at once? Which version of OctaMED are you shipping it with? Will it do MIDI and if so, how does one connect to it?
