Not only that. But they are also doing odd stuff with the hardware, although most users probably don&#x27;t care about this.<p>The Pixel C had the potential to be a very nice open machine. It&#x27;s even shipped with the Nouveau driver. And it runs Coreboot. But sadly Coreboot is locked down in this particular case.<p>Also, I don&#x27;t get why they mess up with the keyboard layout. Many useful keys have been removed like tilde or backslash. Yes, they are accesible via a sort-of-compose-key labeled &quot;...&quot;. But then I need to retrain my muscle memory.<p>It&#x27;s otherwise a fantastic machine, so I&#x27;m a bit sad for the missed opportunities.
