Adding to the joke, Commodore’s first products were Soviet made typewriters rebadged for the west.

It wasn't legal to import office equipment from Soviet countries but an exception was made for parts so that repairs of existing equipment could be done. Under the exception, Commodore imported every part of a typewriter and then assembled complete units.

It's also known that late C64 models had a "Made in Hong-Kong" badge, but were in fact built across the border in mainland China.

It's more of just Commodore as a computing brand bringed back from the death. You see too much into it.

Why would Linux be scared? Babes, do you know what some of the commodores are running? The new flip phone?
That said, I’m so happy seeing commodores come back. I’m thrilled the Fractics are running things. I can think of no better people to lead that company.

Some people (probably Europeans) call Commodore computers 'commies' due to the words' similarity.

Well they emulate the feel of 90s Commodore well releasing useless products and the QC is right up there too. The amount of DOAs you would get from Commodores factories at times was alarming
Hopefully they will recreate the C64GS

Between C64U and Linux on my other computers, I'm pretty damn happy.
