It is doomed by the fact that the hardware isn't upgradable. If you want to have success with a new console you need to be better and not exactly as terrible.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Ok so if a Linux OS means doomed, according to you what kind of operating system would make the Ataribox not doomed?

The one that can run PS4 and Nintendo exclusive games.

Well, the ABox should be able to play most of Nintendo's back catalogue.
