There's a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn't that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it's based on Gentoo, yet it's locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it's pretty much a locked system.

Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I'm pretty sure if Nvidia hadn't messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.

It's not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it's Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.

And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.

Android 14 isn't out yet, those are beta screenshots. One UI 6 stable probably comes out in December.

Bad management mainly. The cofounders fought and one basically expelled the other. And then there's the bad choices like removing .deb support by default. Also, it's a bit buggy nowadays.

I still remember fondly when elementary was relevant. It's been a while.

My pihole hasn't shown any tracking. Ad free truly gets rid of it.
