You signed up just to say that?I recently bought a RPI 5 8 gb
Tried with the official power adapter for raspberry pi 4, the square one, 15 w
Can't boot from usb withouth editing a file to allow the warning to go away
Tried with my phone charger, 65W, same behaviour
Tried with a Baseus charger, 100W, same behaviour
Tried with Ugreen charger, 45W, same behaviour
What do I have to buy to escape this vendor lock in?
You need a power supply that supports 5V at 5A, unless you have few or no peripherals. You will find that none of the power supplies you listed support this. What you need, which you probably know, is the official Pi 5 PSU.
There is no vendor lock-in as you could buy a 5V/5A USB-C PSU from any other vendor who makes one, or connect your 5A capable PSU to the power pins on the GPIO header.
