I said some of this elsewhere, but the operating system is an implementation detail since we're not selling you bare-metal compute--we're selling you on-premises cloud computing. I think you were looking at this from hardware plus operating system rather than hardware plus a cloud computing control plane. I get what you're saying though, and you're right that certain workloads like Kubernetes on the metal that can take advantage of hardware wouldn't be a good fit for Oxide today. We could decide to change that in the future, but I don't see that as a priority for Oxide given all else we have to build first.
