IIRC CUSA couldn't use AROS because although it is open source they still would have had to pay for sound drivers? Please try it so we can see why they didn't go with AROS and instead went with Linux.
Supposedly they're also forbidden by AInc from including an Amiga-like operating system with their products (or is it just with "Amiga"-branded models?) But if they won't spare so much as a buck for software they actually do use, I'm sure that they'd never in a million years have sprung for sound drivers.

I'LL be the guinea pig for all of you, to see if this computer is worth getting, if it lives up to the sacred Amiga name (I'll tell you all honestly in the video after I've researched the OS)
I can tell you right now it won't, as it has absolutely nothing in common with the Amiga. It may or may not be a decent Linux/Windows machine, but it's certainly not going to compare to an Amiga.

USD1295 for an atom based machine cheap?  In which decade are you living?
Is this more of that "well, $1295 is cheap by 1982 standards" bullcrap?
