It’s all misinformation about root being dangerous etc etc
don’t you have root acess on your linux machine ?
On your Android phone without it you simply can’t remove the bloatware, crappware manufactors use to track you with apps that you’ll never use and can’t open but still they are installed on your phone
Yeah the problem is that phones are being treated as appliances and they’re locked away from the user. So you’re really hacking around that when you root it. I imagine eventually it’s not even going to be possible to root phones since most people don’t really care if the option disappears.
My point is that people are actively working around the fact that the device is locked from the user by default. For now you can still root them easily enough, but that can change in the future. It’s also a fundamentally shitty situation to be in. Even after you root, getting OS updates becomes problematic as they can revert your phone back to being locked. You’re not really meant to be in control of the phone.
I want a phone that’s open by design and I don’t want to jump through hoops to use it the way that suits me.
Unfortunately there is plenty of non shit that can also be a problem. That non shit is called closed source software, and most people happen to need it to live and earn.

People down vote without understand shi* nice QQ
My entire smartphone non root guide is based around how you can do this: https://lemmy.ml/post/54596
Also, having root and unlocked bootloader normally all the time is VERY BAD for security. Anyone could flash malware on your phone and hide it away.
like in windows dont install shi*

Closed source has nothing to do with malware and root, there are plenty alternatives people just go for the convenience what is sad
Is the point of technology not making lives easier? Just putting forth a question.
