But if the EFI is locked and you have to use a workaround to boot?
I’d wait a real review before purchasing a “e-waste bomb”
The real reason the hardware is locked to their Linux distro is that the moment they discontinue security updates, it immediately becomes e-waste and you have to buy a new one instead of use it until it physically breaks. This approach works great on Apple devices, who have a 5-7 year lifetime from market launch
