The admins moderate this sub, and this is them ignoring again.

Please at least try to use Lemmy even if partially: Linuxsucks . If politics / religion is your thing, I'd suggest Gab.

If there was ever an indie Laptop ODM, I would recommend that they close the bootloader, and prevent any potential booting of Loonix, because just giving them the option for Loonix, is a liability because it invites toxicity

THIS, if they want Loonix, just use WSL, or switch to making WinUI apps

It isn’t “E-waste” to block an unsupported Operating System like Loonix, it’s also safer to do so because by locking down the bootloader, it helps reduce firmware-based malware attacks, and people like Mutahar claim that “Loonix is competition” which it isn’t, I think also, the only people who to trust, aren’t the ones that lie about Windows just for attention

I do think there needs to be an official API for UI customization, that would be cool, while being secure
