Aside from mostly old farts like myslef who started on a C64 before going to an A1000 to an A1200, is there legs left in this ?

Surely a port to Linux and replace the desktop with something Amiga like is about the only option, short of some.tech bro investing Billions ? Somethibg like Mint but Commodore with the Amiga dekstop if they control the IP?

Us old farts are.going to die out and i havent had any Commodore or Amiga hardware for 2 decades now.

Lemon64 thread

This comment sums it up pretty well:

"If you watch the video you will understand the title is a bit of a clickbait. He is not buying Commodore, he wants to deal to get cheaper licensing fees for whoever wishes to use the Commodore name. For example Ultimate64 could become the official Commodore FPGA board. I don’t see this changing anything to be honest. Unless this will mean that we can buy a brand new C64 based on Ultimate64 (with case, keyboard, keycaps etc) at a sub 200€ with VAT price. Which I doubt."
