    Doesn’t rooting GOS feel counter intuitive? If you’re looking for security rooting GOS circumvents its security policy. May as well download some other OS at that point?

      Yes, that’s right, so I did. I wanted to have a go to see what it was about, though, and I found that root was more important for me than the security that GOS purports to offer.

      And when Google itself is one of your threat actors, literally the world’s worst solution that provides the barest modicum of protection against Google is by definition more secure.

      This was what I learned.
