@OpenComputeDesign@linuxrocks.online It's not like they aren't trying. Windows regularly drops support for older hardware for "reasons" and new ARM Notebooks try to not let you install other OSs, especially Apple HW.
It's just that no one asks how many months of windows updates a device is going to get and the manufactures claim they have no influence

@kabel42@polymaths.social Well, we all know I think ARM is an awful garbage platform that no one should take seriously for any purpose. And sure, windows _does_ drop support for hardware. Which is dumb. But at least you don't have to rely on both microsoft _and_ dell, for example. Just microsoft. So you still get on average _way_ more years of support than you do with most android phones. And plus, unlike an android, an x86 laptop is actually a computer, so you can just install a real OS
