For Apple lovers don't yet say thanks on apple, Steve Jobs used to use Android instead of iphone just saying
My view is that only open tech is worth getting invested in. It's important to recognize that no matter how good a company might be sooner or later their business incentives will no longer be aligned with your interests.
I agree with you, and thus a rooted Android doesn't put limits on something that is yours (I mean bought with your own money)
There's still a problem with you having to root it though. I'm really hoping Linux phones like PinePhone get to the point where you can run most popular apps on them.
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
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*
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.
