my apologies, I was actually thinking of "unlocking the bootloader", rooting a device without an unlocked bootloader didn't even occur to me. And since unlocking a bootloader is non-trivial by design, that would prevent any such accidents.
Rooting a device shouldn't be any more complicated than having a sticker saying "warranty void if removed".
Why not force them to unlock root from the start?

Books were absolutely better, but the TV show was still awesome.
pacman is the name of an actual package manager iirc
I know. But better than using products from fascists...
please don't call it app store, I just threw up a little in my mouth :(
Package Manager!
It isn't, really. As @CosmicTurtle0 pointed out in their response, it's mostly finding alternatives to your apps.
Apropos: fuck mozilla for enshittifying the last viable open source browser alternative :( It's the one I have not found an alternative for yet.
Other than that: Thunderbird is WAY better than Outlook anyways. Gimp is arguably lacking some features that Photoshop people are used to, but works just fine (albeit takes some getting used to) for non graphic designers. LibreOffice is functioning better than Microsoft Office by a long shot in Writer and Calc - and up to par in Impress (presentations.) VLC should already be your media player of choice anyways. Element (Matrix) and Telegram desktop applications come with most distros nowadays. Desktop environment of choice is available, from very comfortable to very rudimentary and blazingly fast.
Steam works, many many games on steam work (but then again, maybe prefer gog / good old games, as it is not US based).
PDF readers: okular is probably your best bet, digital signatures work fine but the interface for signing a document could be improved a bit.
For my system, that's kind of it - everything else is native Linux stuff anyways :)

I would want it hadn't the the divded states recently gone full fascist regime: as a software developer, I wouldn't want to have windows dirt on my hardware, but I could test software for windows users. I had been looking in vain for a Windows+Office VM subscription before. Ship has sailed though, now I can just say fuck Windows.
