  • Last time I bothered researching, Google pixel was the only one that didn't void the warranty when you unlock the bootloader.

    I remember Samsung being especially locked down with hardware e-fuses that blew if you ran any software not signed by their key. You could never reset back to stock afterwards.

  • The sad part is that it used to be simple. You could do apt install whatever and it would usually get it.

    They also used to have a graphical frontend for apt, which felt like an app store before app stores (and even the iPhone itself) existed.

    I suspect it'll get simple again. If canonical doesn't do it, some other distro will overtake it.

  • Apt does not have most packages you need anymore. You have to add custom repositories for everything. Which means you have to go to a website and still run a whole bunch of commands. Worst of both worlds. Other distros are not as bad, but between snap, flathub, etc. Linux package management is not in a good state at the moment.
