My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition).

That's because is a SATA SSD.

Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers.

Yeah, I'm Gen Z as well and watching people use Google without knowing what to put in the search box drives me nuts, but that's why they pay for me so...

I remember telling my dad "Computers aren't that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying" and most people won't even read, let alone comprehend.

Correct :3

I remember telling my dad "Computers aren't that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying"

The problem is more and more systems these days won't let you read what they're saying, systems like ChromeOS, Android (AOSP is better but only if you're a dev), IOS, IpadOS, MacOS, and Windows are going out of their way to hide "power user" features. At this point the only real choice of operating systems for people who want full control over their computer are Linux distributions.

I couldn't agree more with you, and the same can be said about most consumer devices. If you want a full control over any device, you are gonna get the best experience flashing a custom firmware. But manufacturers don't like it, they lose the telemetry data and revenue so they do their best to impede that.

AOSP is better but only if you're a dev

AOSP is the way android phones should be sold, and to have the option to escalate privileges in a terminal, so you can actually do some work without relying on Google Play Services + a 200MB app to send a file to your laptop. The custom vendor images should be something people can opt in to get a vendor locked dumbed down experience.

Thats why I use a Thinkpad T440p with Libreboot, sadly some proprietary blobs are still present. Hopefully my next laptop will be completely open source and running on Risc-V.

AOSP is the way android phones should be sold I disagree, security is absolutely horrific. I use a pixel 7 with graphics and tbh for a phone the privacy downsides are well worth it for security. Sadly thats a compromise that must be made (at least until a phone brand can offer both security and privacy).
