        Rooting is a terrible security risk and there’s no point in doing it. You won’t see the popular roms like GrapheneOS, /e/, or CalyxOS supporting it.

            Yes…? You can have custom roms without sacrificing security. There’s genuinely no reason to root anymore.

                Can you use English words to explain why you think this is wrong, or are you just wasting internet bandwidth
