Yeah, imagine if you could install a different operating system on your Mac! What a world that would be!

Worth noting that this is a dig against the other consoles which do not allow this, not Apple who (in part) does.

Apple can revoke it at any time. If a future update disabled or changed iBoot, there is no guarantee Linux would ever run again (unlike UEFI Macs).

Valve is not like Apple, they treat UEFI as a default.
