Unlike the other IP KVMs I've used before, like PiKVM, BliKVM, or TinyPilot, the NanoKVM runs its own proprietary OS.
And right now, at least, the source code isn't all open source. There's a long issue about it on GitHub, but the tl;dr? Sipeed said they won't open source the code until they either sell 10,000 units or get 2,000 stars on the repository.

Yeah, I'll sit on this one. Right now, the three listed are better options simply because they're Open Source.

The hardware is appealing. Should they actually open source the code early enough that their product still has a chance to be relevant, I will order a few.

Way to sabotage their product launch by not being OSS from the get-go.

I may have understood wrong, but i am pretty sure the NanoKVM is ruining Linux ...
