This is the future Im talking about. New cpus doesnt allow gentoo to be installed, and vendors dont sell old cpus anymore because they are not "secure"
>>55358925
CPUs will never be like that.
Free market guarantees it
>>55358966
Really? The same free market that has exploded the use of smartphones, the least free hardware ever created? Personal computer hardware not found in phones that's not completely locked down only exists now because it has been free in recent memory and people would actually be upset about it. Over time, it will slowly disappear, and the consumer won't notice, like a frog in boiling water.

More people should switch to Linux. I didn't like where Microsoft was heading with Windows 10 so I gave Linux a try. The desktop experience is great, I don't know why people say otherwise.
>>55359558
Dont forget that spoofing your adress to look like approved device will be illegal and get you imprisoned.
Daily reminder that every FOSS you use is a step closer to preventing this from happening.

None of these things are true.
You should probably spend less time on /g/. And more time actually using saod products.

>New cpus doesnt allow gentoo to be installed
It won't happen like that. All it would take to do that now is for computer manufacturers to stop including the Microsoft 3rd party signing key for Secure Boot and disable the ability to turn off Secure Boot. The later could easily happen with the next version of Windows as Secure Boot went from recommended for manufactures to support with Windows 8 to required for manufactures to support with Windows 10 and Microsoft already has mandated that all ARM based Windows devices not give the user the ability to disable Secure Boot for years now.

Problem with this:
1. Nearly every web server uses Linux or BSD.
2. The most popular hardware for servers is x86-64, because it's dirt cheap and powerful.
Server companies will demand Intel not lock down their CPUs, and allow them to run their own operating systems.
>>55365581
If you meant to respond to >>55358925, this anon has a better explanation for how it would happen: >>55362995
>>55358966
>>55365581
So intel will not lock down their CPUs for only approved server operators. Youre a consumer? Enjoy your 10 year old server hardware just so you can use linux
>>55363023
Yes it is. (((Stallman))) is just in denial.
