Linux Phones and Unlocked Bootloaders?

Or are computers gonna just go the smartphone route and you can’t instal another OS?

I mean, Chrombooks are the first example of computers being more locked down. Will compouter manufacturers do the same? Mifrosoft now requires TPM on windows 11, could they make “Secure Boot” mandatory for windows 12? (Thereby preventing a linux install)

    Mifrosoft now requires TPM on windows 11,

    …and it is a preparation step for even mightier lockdown scenarios than smartphones.

    For your best, of course /s

    could they make “Secure Boot” mandatory for windows 12? (Thereby preventing a linux install)

    They have tried it in win11 already.
