This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

People need to go back to rooting phones. /storage/emulated/0 is basically /home/user

In principle I agree. In practice, no.

Personally, I don't have the energy to keep hacking my phone after each security update from the manufacturer. And you kinda/sorta need those.

Now, if there was a way to steamroll over the native OS for a Pixel or iPhone with something free that's also current and well maintained, that would be better. At least that way I could have full control and use the hardware until the battery is well and truly dead.
