The Apple walled prison is reinforced by steel bars of interoperability with their peripheral and accessory products. The truth of it is that Apples iOS products are marketed as whole, includes many points of integration with Mac OS hardware an software, and installing open gates in the Apple prison with EU regulation should be implemented for the obvious whole and not as individual parts. I think the EU regulators understand this and will act accordingly.

I don't really understand why KDE neon is advertised as a stable distro for end users when it's more of a dev preview, Kubuntu may be more behind in terms of KDE packages but that's the distro I'd recommend for daily computer use if one wants KDE and an Ubuntu base. Good to see the EU going after Apple. I wonder if they'll look into Android a bit too, Google isn't exempt of doing shady things with their OS. I didn't hear about that NixOs drama so I'm glad you brought that up. I'd be interested hearing more about it maybe in a video or a Patreoncast. On a sidenote, I'd be interested in voting for Patreoncast topics the same way as you let us vote for video topics. You could let us pick a topic or two for a patreoncast each month 🙂.
