    I see this shit every day. You know why? User base.

    Linux doesn’t have to worry about grandma using it. The vast majority of the Linux user base is technologically adept humans that know not to remove the bootloader.

    But you know for a fact that grandmas were trolled into or accidentally removed system files so often that Microsoft did something about it.

    Also note, Chromebooks - which use a Linux adjacent os that is marketed to a wide audience including kids and the elderly - doesn’t let you do shit to system files. Android and Steam Deck are also highly locked down.

    The point is its a wierd flex to say that linux gives sudo users the power to break your system when its really just saying your os is too niche to have to worry about grandma.

      Steam Deck is not locked down, you can enable super user access and filesystem management with two simple commands

        2 simple commands many wouldn’t even know where to input.

          So literally the same things as any other Linux distro… To delete the bootloader, you don’t just need to select a folder in your home directory with your mouse and click delete, it’s a little bit more complicated than that, despite it not being hard for any person who knows how to run a command and know the basics.

        It’s protected enough from the layman, at least
