BIOS locked to Windows keys. Tuxedo is promising a Linux version of the same SOC soon, though.
Can we please make vendor-locked bootloaders illegal, for repairability and consumer choice and all that? There's literally no reason for it, except to lock in customers.
If history is any indication then more lock-in will be the future trend. And they will sugarcoat it with reasons such as "this is more secure".
