If you find that already illegal... there are vendors signing their own drivers with the pre-installed Microsoft Secure Boot keys. So trying to remove them and replace them with proper ones bricks your system.
That's awful. Not new, but i guess it's becoming more common.
I was forced to abandon Linux on desktop in 2007. This year on a whim I got back a couple AIOs I had gifted and installed KDE neon and was blown away at how nice it was. And absurdly fast at that.
My main still has to run win for not just games but also Visio. What really gets me is the tools platform i need for work will only run on win despite it being essentially java based. If allowed to run on native Linux I can't help but think it would be much much faster.
I'm currently testing out a portable base win10VM for those softwares. Not an ideal solution but it's working.
I guess while I'm at it I'll go ahead and ask.. is there any OSS alternative to Visio?
