they are already required to publish the kernel source code for the device, so porting an alternative system should be possible, and this directive might make it illegal to lock down the software from being replaced. but there is still a loophole around drivers, as those are implemented through a "hardware abstraction layer" on android.

going down the layers there's more and more where it is not true anymore. the writer is even showing with screenshots that the menu in 11 was updated. does he want those features removed? or completely redesigned just for the sake of being different?

seriously it reads like someone who has regret leaving the company, admiring all the fantastic innovations of windows 11 and complaining there is not more.

its more to do with the fact that until recently linux distros did not have a desktop pc centered idea on how to do updates. but distros started to support offline updates, so you can install updates in a safer way, while the system is not running.

a major difference is that linux offline updates allows you to just shut down, without taking time with updates.
