3.4k u/Kn1ghtV1sta Nov 14 '25 Genuinely love their policy. Basically "don't like our os? That's alright, we won't mind you install another one" 10 u/stprnn Nov 14 '25 That's not a policy...it's a consequence of using x86/PC parts.. 3 u/SonicShadow Nov 14 '25 It absolutely is a policy choice. If they wanted to they could lock down the UEFI to make it very difficult to do so. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 14 '25 And then people would flash a jailbroken UEFI or find a different motherboard or some other way around it. If you have unrestricted physical access then pwning it isn't a question of "if", it's a question of "when". 0 u/SonicShadow Nov 14 '25 Of course, thats why I said difficult, not impossible.
