I'm not buying Linux, if the drivers aren't open.

    Respect.

    I don't share this stance (I prefer open, but it's not a deal breaker if most alternatives are even less open), but I greatly appreciate those who do.

    Care to share your mobile OS preferences? I'm test driving GrapheneOS on my old Pixel 7 Pro, but not sure if it can fully replace my daily driver yet.

    No, i mean, since linux doesn't have a stable driver ABI, a computer that doesn't run without closed drivers, is quickly abandonware. Especially in RISC architectures, which make general drivers (wide set of compatibility) difficult.
