Unfortunately Apple created great piece of hardware, new iPad Pro and keyboard, but decided to keep it crippled with iPadOS. Since under new DMA laws in EU you can install 3rd party software, I am thinking to what extent it is possible to customize iPadOS? Would it be possible, using extensions, open source and other customization, to make iPadOS more general OS like (better FS access, better support for multi tasking, etc, etc) ?

It was reported here earlier today that Apple forced OS upgrades for some users without asking (https://www.macintouch.com/post/37381/macos-sonoma-forced-installs/).

There is also situation when upgrades remove features. For example 1Password deliberately crippled perfectly fine password sync for users because they wanted to force them to new, cloud (and subscription) based version.

Is there any legal way to fight against this ? I am in EU, but I am interested in other legislative as well

Good friend of mine do have great collection of 8bit computers. Apart from usual ones (Commodore, Sinclair…), there are lot of East European and similar model that are not frequent. He was thinking about some kind of museum, but I am looking for better solution, if any. Museums require large investment and usualy bring low revenue. Any idea or advice how to create better business out of it? Location would be Europe.
