I really wish the hardware was open to Linux, because my gen 3 iPad sits in a desk drawer and reminds me to abstain from buying any apple devices until a hackable exploit is discovered to enable alternate repos and binaries not locked into Apple's walled garden

I wish the EU would pass a law making it so that all devices must be unlocked once they stop receiving software updates. How many perfectly usable devices are forced to fall by the wayside because the last supported OS can't do anything useful. I would love to see a version of Linux running on old iPad hardware.
