If Apple was primarily a hardware company, I could run Android on an iPhone. Apple is about image and status. A walled ecosystem to maintain that image.

  There is this: https://projectsandcastle.org/ https://projectsandcastle.org/ But it’s a mobile device — swapping OS is not a trivial feat, not even on the android side. Especially if you care about security (pinephones for example don’t care at all). Their macs on the other hand allows safe booting of other OSs, see the Asahi project.

    > pinephones for example don’t care at all This is completely false. Care to provide any proofs?

      Linux desktop is completely insecure, the unix permissions are meaningless for single-user systems (an npm install can steal/encrypt all your family photos, ssh keys, browser config). That same model is applied for pinephone, with an insecure hardware (physical access means complete control, no secure boot, a single SD card swap completely compromises the device)

        Linux model relies on using trusted, signed, FLOSS apps from the repository. Show me malware in there.
