Thanks for answering the poll!!

I did work on Circuit Python a bit and I actually got the Desktop to initialize now, but I ran into a dead end trying to get the [keyboard](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/circuitpython-with-pico-2-w/16394/23) working. So I’m dropping Circuit Python support for now at least.
