@mint @Hyolobrika Locked bootloaders aren't a bad thing. The issue is not allowing your own keys with them. I only use Google Pixels for a reason; they allow you to sign your own OS and lock the bootloader, so you can't get backdoored.

I know, I know, cultist... GOOGLE! OMG!

Custom signing keys even with a TPM? Gasp!
