- va_coder 15y agoThere are a lot of dreams out there for Linux. One of those dreams is an easy to use tablet that's fast, has a lot of apps and is easy to use. That dream has been realised.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoThat's cheap. What Linux developed by a company today isn't "controlled by a single vendor". What does that even mean? CyanogenMod and countless other AOSP-based roms seem to contradict that implication anyway. Not sure what the criticism is regarding the hardware vendors. That'd be like criticizing RHEL if a distributor sold machines and locked it down to only allow RHEL to boot. Does that reflect on the project itself? No. I suppose you can criticize them for not using GPL3 (as it would prevent the hardware lockdown) but you'd be criticizing a loooot of people in that case. (A defensive reply to a "witty" bit of snark earns downvotes and silence. Shocking.)
