Regardless of one’s opinions about the quality and suitability of software inside debian’s repos, that doesn’t have a bearing on whether or not debian is actually a walled garden. However avgalen is right, equating the debian OS to a walled garden does not make any sense. If you want to criticize repos for what they choose to include in their repos, then go right ahead…that is your opinion. If I have to get developer licenses or compile stuff myself, no thanks, it’s a walled garden. If the VLC people can’t (who like open source), most devs can’t. No, it’s about the platform making it easy for someone to distribute their reasonably complex app without the OS vendor having to be a middleman. The hallmark of the OS-controlled walled garden. Stripping DRM circumvention features to be compliant with the OS vendor rules. They have a custom-recompiled version of VLC that is not latest, not uploaded by Videolan themselves but by some middleman and has libdvdcss stripped out. Windows 10 in S mode is pretty much a useless experiment when you can just run Windows 10 in non-S-mode and choose to either allow “Microsoft Store apps: Only install apps from the Microsoft Store.”, “Sideload apps: Install apps from other sources that you trust, like your workplace” or “Developer mode: Install any signed and trusted app and use advanced development features” (of course these settings can be centrally managed as well) * Have you tried installing Android on a Samsung Galaxy Book2 or Microsoft Surface Go?īeing locked into Windows 10 in S mode is a problem that never should have happened and that should indeed be “fixed automatically in a few days or a week” * Edge being the only allowed browser doesn’t make your computer useless
* Your solution still doesn’t allow running Windows programs, so why even leave S Mode at all? * You forgot that machines that come in S mode might not have driver support on Debian * You forgot about keeping data and you actually destroyed data Your definition of getting out of S Mode is only mildly funny and only mildly easy.
