   Did you know: Jolicloud was one of the (relatively) few #Linux distributions to spawn official hardware. Specifically, the Jolibook!

   Just a standard netbook under the hood, it was released in 2010 and met with extremely mixed reviews. The look was... not for everybody. To this day, I don't really understand it myself. But it was certainly original, and the device itself worked fantastically.

   Today, these are seen as "collector's items." I never owned one myself, and given the short lifespan that netbooks had combined with Joli OS being discontinued, I have to wonder if there are any left. Still, it's fun to think that maybe somewhere out there, one of these little Linux devices is still chugging along.

     @zak Jolibook was Chromebook before Chromebook so I definitely see its appeal
