If they had full support for side loading, and supported the thunderbolt standard I feel most of my hardware problems could be solved with a type c case that’s adds it a headphone jack and SD card slot
My list of problems: Too expensive, no 3.5 mm Headphone jack, no expandable storage, lack of foss apps and stores like f-droid, and the lack freedom to install and do what I want with the device I payed for.
As far as im aware am4 boards are still getting bios updates? Don’t know where you read that there would be no more patches? Asus and MSI seem to already have this patched
