Android is still better than Windows.
Maybe, but only if everything you do is in a web browser. Google is much worse than Microsoft when it comes to privacy though.
LOL. Thanks for the laugh.
At what?
Security. Simply consider the permission system compared to Windows.. ehh, "everything is open to sneak up and corrupt".
Not everything, increasingly. And frankly I find that annoying. Not having admin access at all is certainly more secure, I don't know if it's "better". They're probably both extremes that go past the optimal choice.
I mean, yeah, if you take my wallet and you encase it in concrete my money is certainly more secure than it was laying on my counter out in the open, but I'd argue that's not a better security setup.
At fucking everything. I don't find my WiFi suddenly not working until I reboot it, reset all settings, dig out the password and connect anew again
It's so weird that you chose that example because, weird OS pissing contests aside, my Android phone has started doing that and it's driving me crazy.
Granted, I'm making it do things it's not supposed to, but still.
Damn, I really hoped nothing else does this. Sorry, it really makes one angry
Having a touch interface.
No. Windows 8 had a great touch interface and morons freaked out. Windows 10 had ability to switch between touch and standard desktop, morons freaked out, Windows 11 dumbed down the menus for touch, and you guessed it, "Where are all of my menu options I rarely use?" The problem is that most people are morons.
Being FOSS, and being usable and stable.
