I have read it, and again I was already coding in the age of 8 and 16 bit computing, with their OSes built-in into ROM, no issues with them.

I also only cared for Linux because Microsoft wasn't serious about POSIX support back in the day and it was a solution for my problem to avoid commuting for an hour to access a DG/UX system.

If you computer places artificial restrictions on what you can do with it, then it's company participates in the war against the general-purpose computing.

If it's a technical limitation, it's a totally different thing.

I'm sorry that you do not care about the freedom of users. Users who do not know about all these things suffer from unlimited power of developers [0] and cannot do anything to escape various walled gardens and traps of proprietary systems [1].

Do you want to do something proper? Start by not using any software with MIT, BSD or any kid of similar licenses then.

Do the walk that follows the talk.

Staying away from the proprietary software is already hard in practice (I'm trying hard, works in 95% cases). Not sure if staying away from those licenses will help more.
