A PC where I can't install what I want? WTF is the point of that bullshit.
Thanks but I'll stick to my steam deck for my portable Linux computing needs where I can do what the hell I want.
Actually....

I guess we'll see how that goes come September timeframe.
I'm sure it'll go pretty well on GrapheneOS
Not sure why everyone seems to think GrapheneOS is going to be immune and unaffected by Google actively trying to fuck AOSP to death.
Because now they have OEM support.
Oh good, so when AOSP is dead in the water, at least GrapheneOS can release hardware without an OS on it?
I guess there is logic to it, the most secure mobile device you can have is none...
It isn't dead in the water. Google reversed that decision and also I believe part of a lawsuit against google before said it had to maintain the AOSP.
We'll see what happens long term but they will be unaffected by the September changes.
