<p><p>One UI 8 permanently removes the option to unlock the bootloader on all devices

<p><p>Copyright ought to be rethought, now that computers and networks exist. Back

when not anyone could make copies of books, it was reasonable to assume that

if you were making copies, you were depriving the author of potential income.

<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must

switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use

Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

<p><p>Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like <em class="emphasis-1">kernel</em>, and it
62
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
63
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
64
one.
