Just me installing a lot of stuff, programming a lot and messing with settings and internal stuff

then this is why a 7yo kid shouldn't use Windows, i had that, but it wasn't corrupted, just filled, but i was better at informatics, so i ran out of trouble.

Don't worry Caroix, I don't think you are 7

I am not 7, that was years ago. The thing is that I follow a lot of guides and then make some mistakes and then the computer gets corrupted because of me doing something without knowing what it does, my Windows PC got corrupted like 7 times before

Yeah… It's pretty easy to do that.

But windows's whole “reason” for locking down everything and basically not letting you do anything with the os even if your an admin is to protect you from messing up the os, but it still happened. I much prefer an os that lets you do whatever you want with your system (with an admin account ofc), but hides it away so less experiences users don't need to worry about it. Linux has become pretty good at this.

have you been snorting corporate propaganda or something? there is no option whatsoever on an iphone to sideload apps even if i knew what i was doing and i really wanted to. it is locked down to force you to use their app store, thus making them more profit.

What? I never said iPhone wasn't locked down either? I was just giving linux as an example. The only truly open OS is linux (and bsd ig). Android doesn't count, although it is still better than iOS

Android is Linux, like ChromeOS.

Yes, but it isn't open, like chrome OS. You don't have the freedom to easily do whatever you want with it.

I said Easily. These are all not easy to do and or are made to look very scary and dangerous so you stay in google's walled garden.

1. Enabling untrusted apps - Looks and sounds very scary.
2. Developer options - Most users won't do this because iT's FoR dEvElOpErS
3. Rooting - hard
4. Custom roms - hard

does it matter that it sounds scary if it does what it says? it's still better than ios not having them at all and forcing you to stay within apple's walled garden-that unlike google's-doesn't work with most things other than apple devices

Yeah, but that's your parents. If anybody but your parents, or maybe your government (depends a whole lot, the chinese government censorship stuff isn't for your own good at all) does it it's probably not for your benefit.
