Hi,

I am not aware that we have reached a point where access to desktop PCs
is no longer possible without jailbreaking. At least the regular Windows
10 and Windows 11 versions that I have installed in VMs on my computer
could easily be removed from a PC, even when they are installed on bare
metal.

Around a year ago I still build a new 13th Gen Intel Core based PC
myself. IIRC everything worked OOTB with a default *buntu kernel, just
for Arch Linux I build the RTL8125 module with dkms.

As long as not all your fingers are thumbs, it never really makes sense
to buy a ready-made PC. I have never been interested in the much sought-
after PCs from a German discounter that has branches in many other
countries. These prefabricated PCs always have some kind of quasi
discontinued parts built in and/or a completely crazy graphics card, but
too few PCIe slots or something like that. At best they are no more
expensive than a self-built PC, but usually they are always more
expensive in the end because you have to upgrade something anyway.

Regards,
Ralf
