      Rule of thumb for android users, all of the interesting shit is shit you can’t do unless you’re rooted.

        I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux

          yeah, linux has me spoiled, just being able to do whatever i want as i please is truly a modern art.

          Android made me realize how incredible linux was by being so utterly painful.

        It’s just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.

        HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.

        I looked on the play store and fdroid, haven’t found anything. I’d love to have a Linux chroot with CLI linux software, don’t want to root my phone. Halp.
