I prefer the way I call it: "the only way I don't get crazy using my work's laptop"
So "TOWIDGCUMWL"
Not so sure about that particular name... it might face the same issues as Penistone (South Yorkshire), or the unfortunate Sussex...
EDIT: added brackets to avoid ambiguity.
I give up. What's wrong with South Yorkshire?
Nothing. Ambiguity caused by poor punctuation.
The greedy manufacturers are now baking in Windows such that now you can't even get rid of it even in your personal laptop
I recently bought a laptop from a shitty manufacturer who made it impossible to switch to Linux. I returned it
The situation of true Linux on mobile (not stock Android) is even worse when every manufacturer treats alternate OSes as viruses and purposefully bricks your device when you try to switch
Name and shame that manufacturer! What was the problem?
My laptop was a HP (never buy anything HP!)
In phones, it's everyone except Google (ironically), OnePlus and Fairphone
Have Motorola and Sony changed? Their phones were easy to open bootloaders on in the past as well.
Sony phones are great for sailfishOS
Wait what? How are they doing that? Was this Intel 64 architecture? Was it a secure boot thing? Microsoft's own specifications for secure boot allow for other OSs (included ability to disable secure boot and use custom keys).
No knowing how to do it is not reason to blame on manufacturer.
There are a few left.Here is a list of them
Often you can still unlock these to install custom OS, but it can be a pain in the ass to do (and sometimes require you to physically open it to remove a screw that keeps the boot sector in read only).
