From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Inb4 apple locked down components to motherboard serial number

But seriously, I guess the only hope is to wait for the Chinese second hand market takes off.

It was a joke. But you can see why I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out true in the end.

I know for a fact they're making it impossible to make small repairs like changing the screen closed sensor. It requires a proprietary calibration tool they won't sell, and so MacBooks can't go to sleep when closing the screen.

On top of changing it from a sub $ hall sensor to some proprietary bs that's far more expensive.

Yeah you're right, we'll all wait till Chinese spare parts market will kick in again, they usually do this after few years from launch
