  • Middle and High school kids are flashing ROMs on their phone by themselves these days

    No.

    Some do. They other 98% are absolutely clueless and wouldn’t even know that there are alternatives to the stock OS. In fact they wouldn’t even know what an OS is or that “Android” isn’t a device brand.

    cares about anything other than students committing violence

    Many are just like bad police. They care about showing off how well they work by catching someone. Doesn’t matter that there wasn’t a problem in the first place or that there are actual real problems that could use the ressources. As long as they can catch and punish someone (for purely imaginary stuff even…) to pretend how well they are doing their job they are happy.

    The problem is that the people lacking those technical skills are struggling with Windows, too, but got brain-washed into believing that this is how it’s supposed to be. And they are somehow also the ones defending Windows bullshit the loudest because else they would need to acknowledge being wrong.

    File permissions…

    allowed to execute=1, allowed to write=2, allowed to read=4

    grouped by owner/group/everyone.

    So one of your own files you have full access to while users in your usergroup are only allowed to read it and nobody else has any permissions would have: 740 (read+write+execute / read / none).

    As much as I despise Windows while also using archlinux/i3-wm as my daily driver…

    Tiling is no rocket science. Basically every stacking window manager including Windows can do it well enough to be usable with just a few properly configured defaults and short-keys.






  • In simplified terms:

    You are allowed to modify stuff but it is not actually changing the install as is.

    This is achieved by different techniques like file system overlays, containerisation, btrfs snapshots and so on.

    The idea is to replicate the classical behavior you know from embedded devices that have their core functionality in ROM with even firmware updates only overlayed or modern smartphones: You can modify your system but in the end there’s always the possibilty to “reset to factory settings” as in: the last known working configuration.
