And thats my point, you should not need OEM support for a pure software issue of operating system upgrades. I do not ask Dell or Lenovo before writing 'apt update && apt upgrade' when on my pc. I do not need to ask Dell or Lenovo before plugging in a flash drive with the iso of my favorite os or to upgrade the next version of the same and so on. These are things that if the device wasn't locked down, shouldn't have required the OEM's direct involvement in the first place.
