No, installing your own OS is very open source.

Which isn't a thing with macOS and Windows, so where is that ethos again?

You were confused why people would do things with GNU/Linux without "supporting GNU/Linux vendors".

But that's restricting it to people that use the preinstalled OS, which is strange, because of how fitting it is to install your own copy of GNU/Linux.

"Yes, you see, you're only free if you do exactly what we tell you."

Also, it's a thing on Windows/PCs.

That was the whole point of this thread, naturally some rather move goal posts to avoid the subject that Linux users rather give money to proprietary desktop platforms than help desktop Linux ever become a reality.

Yes. Because Linux is not competitive in some cases.
