A comment on Open-Sourcing our Firmware. Parent comment
It’s not the “not paying for Windows” angle for me. I don’t care much about that.
I can just treat it like an unused part of the package, like a foreign power adapter. It might even be useful someday.
What I really want is to positively pay for vendor Linux support, pre-installed.
I want the vendor to benefit from Linux and know why they’re supporting it for me.
I guess they could change that in the future though so it’s still worth keeping an eye on.
