As much as I'm interested in running Linux on my next mobile device, I'm not inclined to trust a single company to provide both the device and the OS. I have no reason to distrust Furi Labs, but trust is earned, not granted.

First of all, why is there so little documentation about "FuriOS"? What exactly has Furi Labs changed from the base Debian system to warrant a rebadging? Why can't I know which software it's using? Why are there so few screenshots and videos of the device (besides from the "volunteered" reviews)?

I understand that selling hardware is how they recoup their development costs, and focusing on a single device allows them to deliver a better user experience. But I would still like to try their OS on a device I may already have, before I decide to shell out $550 for, frankly, pretty lackluster hardware.
