Yes, this law should apply to any operating system in a general purpose device, such as a PC, smartphone or tablet. In reality the only vendor that doesn't allow the installation of software from sources that are not the official store (as far as I'm aware of) is Apple. I'm not saying that it should be easy, in Android you have to go trough the settings and enable an option, this is correct since you don't want people installing .apk that are received via email with one click, but it should be possible to do.
- criddell 4y agoDone forget about the Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony game consoles! Those are what I'm most excited for being opened. I would love to be able to run stuff I write on my PS5.
- alerighi 4y agoTo me that is (to this day) less important, since modern consoles are actually PCs with a custom form factor, that you can build with mostly off the shelf parts. In the past it was different, but consoles were always modded (except the modern ones, but I would say for a lack of interest).
