      (don't get smart with me about that always being MS's strategy, I'm forty-two years old and have been using computers my whole life, I know that perfectly well, but this is much more blatant than usual.)

      anyway the secure boot and TPM 2.0 requirements are much worse than the aesthetics

      requiring Secure Boot and TPM is Microsoft leveraging their existing (effective) monopoly power and high degree of customer lock-in to reduce your ownership over your own things that you buy with your own money, and increase the degree of lock-in so you can't easily escape.

      it sucks and it's frustrating. these technologies don't help consumers, but they're sold and promoted with dishonest language that most people don't have the expertise to see through, or the background knowledge to recognize the harmful ramifications.

      well, that should be easy, we'll just get the Linux community to reach consensus on user experiences that are comfortable and accessible for a broad and diverse user base with varying degrees of expertise. …oh. wait. I just remembered what the Linux community is LIKE. fuck.
