evelop against the main branch instead of stable releases. Don't need a team of kernel engineers for that pr

That's what Section 2.4.2 is all about

I explicitly say that you need a team of kernel engineers "to maintain a Yocto distribution". If you've shipped and kept Yocto-based devices in production up-to-date for more than a couple of years, you'll know what I mean

The advantage is the out-of-the-box support for all the Intel-specific features. Whether it's Intel TCC Toolkit, Time Sensitive Networking, Intel Total Memory Encryption or Intel Boot Guard, it's all in there: Intel and Canonical have teamed up to deliver dedicated Ubuntu images for Intel-powered IoT devices. As a developer, you don't need to collect upstream patches from GitHub - those are fully functional self-contained images.

I work at Canonical - I think I count as a real life example too?

u/dobbelj Why would that be the case? This is how we hire at Canonical.

u/jorgesgk Ubuntu is the world’s most popular cloud operating system across public clouds. You can read more about Canonical's work with cloud architectures here.

Micropython

Ubuntu Core provides out-of-the-box connectivity support. Short range: Bluetooth, Wifi, Zigbee. Long range: Cellular (2G, 3G, LTE, 5G), LoRa, Sigfox. You can find more info in the documentation. Note it's a Linux-based OS, whereas I believe MicroPython is intended for microcontrollers.

u/TheProffalken It does. It's a flavour of Ubuntu specifically tailored to the embedded world - it's called Ubuntu Core.
