"Not app restricted" does not mean "Windows software". These devices are completely open. You can install whatever you want. That includes the OS.

By nuking Windows you're trading restrictions for other restrictions is my point, the suggestion of installing Linux doesn't make sense if the point of not getting an Android tablet is to not be limited as Windows is the OS that's compatible with the most programs.

Sure, Windows is more open than iOS. But you still have much more freedom with how it works with Linux.

Surface tablets are niche but SO much more useful than the app-restricted alternatives from samsung or apple. Nuke windows and stick your fav distro with a tablet frontend on there and it becomes an incredibly versatile little machine.

Reading comprehension, work on it.

The point from the get go was that Android tablets are too app restricted. Not about freedom to do what you want with the OS.

APP

RESTRICTION

And on that front, Linux doesn't beat windows.
