A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I am actually curious as to how you would make a locked down managed linux OS akin to ChromeOS.

Because Linus Torvalds stupidly refused to change the Linux license to GPL3.

What difference would the kernel licence make in this context?
