    Not sure why they would be. There are plenty of these on the market already with no issues accessing the bootloader or installing other OSs on them. Same goes for Microsoft Surface device, Chromebooks, etc.

      Think of how Wyse thin clients are typically ridiculously locked down, these are basically a newer version of those.

        I never had a problem installing Debian on those Wyze boxes back in the day.

        I have a couple Minisforum boxes at work with Linux on them running some metric monitors. And I have a Beelink s12 pro that does an absolutely beastly job at being my Jellyfin server.
