I don’t care about openness too much. Though, the ability to side load is nice to have, that’s that. I am not going to swap between ecosystems, I want the ecosystem that I am using to change.

The thing I don’t quite understand - why do you bother? Having the ability to side load doesn’t affect you in any possible way.




As often as I’ve had to clean up my parents Windows computers is why I care.

But the question still is, why buy a device that doesn’t meet your priorities?


Do entertain us with your view of the world of operating systems, please. Windows is not the only OS around, this point is completely irrelevant. Anybody can install anything on Linux/Macos/Android system and the heavens did not fall yet.

> why buy

It does meet my requirements, that’s why. I’ve never said it doesn’t.


Yes, I’m sure my parents would love to use Linux. Did I miss the “year of the Linux desktop”?


You’re not making sense. Have a nice day, I guess.
