Some ultrabooks/laptops are becoming locked to running only Windows 10
Quote:
MicrosoftStore:Signature Edition PCs This is probably Microsoft's answer for thing like: Lenovo preinstalls man-in-the-middle adware that hijacks HTTPS traffic on new PCs For most people this is probably good, because they wouldn't install Gnu/Linux or *BSDs anyway, but for us choosing a laptop is becoming more troublesome.

I try to stay away from any equipment clearly designed for proprietary windows features; its not worth it, if you want to run an OS which is a Unix-Like OS. (My view only.)

I bought a Lenovo ideapad netbook last February, thinking I would run openbsd on
it. I never dreamed I wouldn't be able to boot from a usb on it. what a surprise. did lots of searching-no joy. and they say the "uefi" is for security. right. security of their income. I've got it locked up/all updates killed-i'll use it for emergencies. I still use a 7 machine also anyway. what I did also do is buy 4 used thinkpads, and 2 used compaqs!! Ba$t@rd$ just try to keep ME off open bsd. this episode just confirmed why I was looking for a better OS. /rant off |
