I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    root allows system-wide adblocking. thus more privacy, not less privacy

      Root also adds massive attack surface which easily outweighs those benefits. Not to mention non rooted DNS solutions provide a similar benefit.

          That’s idiotic. Your data being insecure is inherently not private.

          They are two sides of the same coin.

        Windows is rooted by design, and that’s completely fine by everyone and their dog

          Lol nobody is calling windows secure or private. Nobody even mentioned it.

          Companies literally pay thousands of dollars a year in hardware and enterprise software to make up for its deficiencies.
