    However, since most retail hardware is built to target Windows compatibility, it could mean fewer options for hardware that will be easy to install Linux (or any other OS) on.

    In fact, I would count on Microsift making their hardware spec intentionally be difficult to load anything “unapproved” on.

      they are doing that already with secureboot.
