One correction: Unlocked boot loaders are still present. All the platforms that I have seen that support Windows on Arm have boot loaders that can be unlocked.

This is probably the best place to follow machines that have unlocked boot loaders, as currently Linux enablement requires it:

- rektide 6y agolate reply sorry. this article is about laptops, & weirdly, thanks to Microsoft, you are right; many arm laptops are do have secure boot systems that respect the user! I was mainly thinking of every other breed of arm consumer device, like phones & tablets. For a couple years we were getting unlockable devices- I think maybe by law?- but now all these Android & other devices are usually locked down & wont let the user install an os on to the device. which is especially brutal & butter when devices often stop receiving major is updates after a two or three years.
