"Software-locked" is a weird way to say you need to install Linux to get it all working properly.

Then it just gets "driver locked" because of some weird hardware compatibility issue with linux and you have to spend hours debugging and searching for a fix before you can drive.

Obviously not original, but unfortunately still accurate. I still have driver issues on many laptops running linux, especially with BT, touchpads and WiFi.
