Who are you responding to? By closed I meant they artificially restrict you from doing things in the name of selling more devices. Like running VM clusters for testing unless you run it on "apple hardware" when there really is no requirement. Removing support for 3rd party GPUs. Having to buy a million dongles that use proprietary connectors (not really a problem anymore). Limiting what you can control at the OS level. Not letting you run what you want. The list goes on. I obviously think what the asahi linux team has done is bad ass. Just think us nerds have to force ourselves off the tech giants or the end result will likely be; you won't be able to easily buy something you actually control.
