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
