They’re not actually relinquishing any control. They’re just allowing subsidiary “app stores” to take a tiny cut while Apple still controls everything.
I’ve been an Apple fanboy for years, but less so these days. I can’t imagine that the EU won’t fine them for this, although it’s hard to imagine any fine that would make an impression on a $3 trillion company.
I have a Linux setup on a Lenovo laptop with 11hrs (not exaggerated, but heavily tuned), and that’s AMD. With ARM I’m not surprised, but is Apple the only company selling ARM laptops?
Qualcomm’s arm chips are the next best thing and they are nowhere near the apple ones. It pleases me greatly that people are porting linux to arm macs
