That’s the kind of bridge you need to plan on crossing long before you get there.
It’s like driving a big truck. You get to the bridge and the sign says 5 ton(ne) weight limit and you’re driving a 40 ton(ne) truck. And there is a line of cars behind you that stretches to the horizon. You can’t turn around now. What are you going to do?
And they’d get away with it too if it wasn’t for those damn Linux distributions.
Look at the long game. Installing a Linux distro is great. But what happens when your GPU/CPU/SSD dies and you can’t afford or buy replacements?
They got more time and can afford to wait us out.
old hardware still runs great on linux. they’ll have to force windows apps on people and linux will prolly run them as well.
Old hardware is old. It will die eventually, and at some point there will be no more old hardware. Then what?
we’ll cross that bridge if we get there

well, i for one am not buying new hardware
linux is in a great spot for gaming and openbsd for security
Or when they lock the bootloader ala android phones and you’re stuck with the default Windows on your laptop?
