- WillAdams 2y agoIt would be nice to use some totally open firmware, but that's a big swing in terms of finance relative to the inexpensiveness of the rPi. That said, I believe I can live with: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/561/is-the-bcm2835-broadcom-soc-proprietary-to-the-raspberry-pi-organization https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/561/is-the-b... https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=340024 https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=340024 If someone would make a decent tablet with opensource underpinnings and Wacom EMR, I'd be glad to consider it.
- karma_pharmer 2y agoNevermind open firmware, just ask for an ecosystem that isn't completely controlled by one company named Broadcom. Broadcom Pi. It's called Broadcom Pi. The fruit names are just a naked attempt at BigTech-laundering.
- WillAdams 2y agoAt least it's a company which will allow alternative OSs. I'm still quite annoyed that I set aside and stopped using my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 because I couldn't figure out how to get it to boot something other than Windows.
