Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

When I was tasked with buying laptopa for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.

Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux.

Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market
