Tucked into their FAQ about the Steam Machine release was a mention about making your own Steam Machine by installing steamOS to a computer you already have. AMD only for now.

Apple only allows 3rd party stores in the EU*

Yeah and even then, the compliance is malicious

And Google is about to copy it worldwide

It's gone beyond the EU. Last week Apple announced third party app stores will be coming to Brazil and

Apple has already allowed alternative app stores and/or third-party payment systems on iOS in the EU, Japan, and South Korea, and it will likely be forced to do so in the UK and Australia too, due to similar regulations in those countries.

For now, this is just the start and when apple is forced to do it in enough regions, they will have to relent.

I hope my next iPhone will be open like this and have a desktop mode when docked.

Yeah, they aren't going to be bringing it to the US unless they are forced to by law in the US unfortunately :( great time to be a postmarketOS user with Google now being as restrictive..

I was looking at that the other day. I wish my old android could be modded to run it.
