It's probably built on systemd's Secure Boot + immutability support.
As said above, it's about who controls the keys. It's either building your own castle or having to live with the Ultimate TiVo.
We'll see.
- direwolf20 9mo agoWe all know who controls the keys. It's the first party who puts their hands on the device.
- bayindirh 9mo agoDoesn't have to be. While I'm not a fan of systemd (my comment history is there), I want to start from a neutral PoV, and see what it does. I have my reservations, ideas, and what it's supposed to do, but this is not a place to make speculations and to break spirits. I'll put my criticism out politely when it's time.

All governments share broadly similar tendencies; the EU and UK govts have always coveted central control over user devices.
- zb3 9mo agoJust to make it clear - on Android you don't have the keys. Even with avb_custom_key you can't modify many partitions.
