That's a big fuckin' nope and likely illegal.

Linux > Steam > Proton > Windows Game

works better than

Linux > Wine > Steam > Windows Game

There's really no reason to be running Steam in Wine when Steam runs natively within Linux and Proton does the work for you for each individual game.

(Youtube/Blog) Reviewers get blacklisted by companies by not providing a positive review about a product they were given. As they rely on scooping type style reviews, this means they not only don't get a free product to review, but they can't review it until after it's for sale instead of being able to 'preview' it for people and get more clicks that way.

Spoiler alert: It's not. The better SOCs end up becoming more proprietary because it's the companies' own implementations that make them perform better. That leads to proprietary drivers/software.

Not enough people care to use cut rate hardware that actually conforms to the 'wholly open' philosophy. Even Stallman couldn't maintain using fully open hardware. He had to switch to a Thinkpad with Coreboot.

People have expectations when using devices as complex as a phone or laptop to where, compared to even a desktop with Linux, having a smartphone that is fully open comes with serious drawbacks.

You could always get a LibrePhone or a Pinephone but you probably won't enjoy the experience.

And that's why you recommend someone who isn't a doctor at all for issues with the body?

Sounds like ego and hubris to me: "I can fix things that I've never studied like actual Medical Doctors have simply by twisting someone's back suddenly!"

No thanks.

I think it may be your own history popping up there.

Color theme consists of at least 3 colors taken from the wallpaper.

At least 3 unique colors is enough to make the user potentially uniquely identifiable, depending on how rare the color combos are.

2²⁴ (R⁸G⁸B⁸) combinations for every color times 3 colors means 2⁷² combinations.

And there are color samples taken from potentially two different wallpapers.

Other apps have access to the colors picked for the theme generated from the wallpaper so they can theme themselves accordingly.

This means an app can use your color theme (of 3 or 6 colors) as a nearly unique fingerprint. The odds of collision for smaller apps (sub 1 million downloads) are pretty damn low.

Why? Any breach that involves usernames/passwords are account name and password combos that get tried on EVERY POSSIBLE SITE after.

It only takes one pair of username with a reused password for this to work.

They have a LONG history of making decisions that ultimately are hostile to the user. Apple also has a history of explicitly locking out Linux users.

> It looks like even if disabling the Secure Boot functionality, the T2 chip is reportedly still blocking operating systems aside from macOS and Windows 10.

This is further than Microsoft has ever gone with hardware.

Apple has been dipping their toes into the telemetry and ad tracking waters for a while now. If they see Asahi cutting into those margins because people are buying Apple hardware and installing an OS that prevents them from collecting user data, I can believe they'd see them as a threat.

Why? Again, history. Apple has shut down numerous developers who made "competing" features for iOS via apps in the App Store... even though those developers had the app first before Apple decided to add the features into iOS.

But yeah, something something security something...

Try again.

The Ryzen 5900HX is more than 70% faster than the M1 in Cinebench Multicore... and 1% slower in single core.

You know. Real world shit.

Also. Max 16GB Ram for the M1. L Oh fuckin' L. Even my Celeron laptop could do more than that.

Apple does not.

Apple: Prevents sideloading without a host MacOS computer.

Sideloading is temporary.

Blocks third party app stores.

Blocks any and all browsers using a non-Safari engine.

Not one iPad or iPhone has ever been bootloader unlockable.

They've locked out iMessage people from being able to port their number out of the service for YEARS.

Tell me what part of this screams openness.

Even the most restrictive devices are less restrictive than Apple's. If the "ability to install Linux" is the benchmark here, guess what... that's nearly every single fucking device in the world. Except the majority of Apple devices, of course.

Apple explicitly has gone out of their way to prevent this.

Apple does ZERO to allow people to use an OS outside of their sandboxes. With the Intel based systems, Bootcamp is still restricted and limits hardware access necessary to run Windows properly on their systems.

Yes. Apple is restrictive as fuck. As far as Technology companies go, yes, I'd put them up at the top.

Your turn with sources and citations.
