Look I love open-source but the whole lack of a separate binary driver layer is dumb and is why Windows can support a machine for over a decade while Android has terrible device-specific support windows and you don’t just get your new OS version from Android Update, you have to get it from your vendor.
Imagine if you owned a Dell and couldn’t run Windows Update, but had to use Dell Update instead?
Also, I’m not an OS engineer, but that wouldn’t require a closed source, privately licensed OS, would it? Just to not build it as a Linux offshoot, I suppose.

I have an ASUS.
So… no need to imagine anything.
