@wiak I agree. I also tried it out and found for seeing what the distro looks like is okay but anything else is a drag to use and so it's not possible to get a real demo run.
We need to get the weedogit script(s) available again. It's way too good to have discontinued. Otherwise a quick look at a distro in QEMU or VirtualBox feels to me to be a step further and a better demo platform. Of course nothing beats booting one up on a bare metal machine.
How's it going out there Will? Hope all is moving along in an orderly fashion and isn't making you crazy!!
I feel like KLV-Spectr with the tiling window manager Spectrwm and Rox (also Thunar) is a really good alternative for doing real work on a computer. It does take a bit to get used to but once the key bindings are known by muscle memory and instinct the system is proving to be quite useful and is very fast and responsive.
The beta2 version includes @fredx181's save2flash function builtin, which is working as expected. KLV-Airedale is moving along nicely and seems to be used by a few more people since I've recently seen YouTube videos in other languages than English previewing it.
All in all hope all is well and you'll be getting the big move finished smoothly and in good time.
