How would Linux have been today if locked bootloaders were as common in the 90s as they are now on ARM devices?

Basically the title

I'm not sure I understand the question, I literally quoted part of the comment I replied to.

Perhaps you've blocked the user?

Okay my bad, I think I just misunderstand BSD-3 and read somewhere that Proton is Valve's proprietary software. In terms of open source software, the only licenses I'm really familiar with are GNU, Apache, and MIT. So I read one thing online saying Proton was proprietary and assumed BSD-3 was a proprietary license without looking into it further.

Thanks, it's been a while.

Criticism may be justified, but without Proton, how far would wine have come? Without Steamdeck + proton, gaming would still be a no-go for linux and absolutely not worth mentioning. So fewer users would have switched to linux.

OK let go back and bring wine forward ..... Maybe it will be something in 10-20 years ( well for released titles and not future Titels.)

@wildbus8979 Actually, because it used a Mach microkernel, it could easily be ported to ANY hardware, that is the whole entire point of Mach. Also it did run on the Mc680x0 family and that was what Mac was based upon at the time, prior to Power PC chips, prior to Intel, prior to M chips, and it is precisely that Mach microkernel that enabled the easy transition from one hardware platform to the next.

all I'm saying is, it sucks that this shit isn't upstream

Yes but that's completely irrelevant to the original point.

@wildbus8979 No but completely relevant to your comment. Such is the nature of conversational threads.
