I didn't say anything about which user you are or how much permissions you have. The fact that these OSes allow even *root* to make changes to the OS, is insecure in itself. By contrast, Android and iOS strictly limit what installers can do.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Even if you do have "god" permissions, an Android or iOS installer can't update the OS itself.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

Keep going, this is precious

if you can't figure that out I can only guess it is probably due to you mixing up M & GB.

Oh, are you one of the stupid clowns I've corrected on b and B? I bet you are.

Plenty of 486 back in the days had more than 16M of ram.

This is bullshit. A percent of a percent of 486s had more than 16MB.

Windows, Linux, and MacOS *all*...
- Allowed installers to do anything they wanted, including replace core OS files.

You're conflating Windows versions as if they were all the same, Linux only allows that if you're root and there is no good reason for it to be otherwise, etc. and I specifically stated that one of those OSes has no security, obviously MacOS. Thanks for proving you don't know shit about shit and no one should listen to you.

Plenty of 486 around that had more than 16M of RAM, especially these days.

Impossible to figure out what you think you meant while you're mixing tenses. 486s with more than 16GB of RAM were extremely scarce and now they are even scarcer, they are not more common. Probably they are a larger percentage of the remaining 486s, but that is not the same thing as there being plenty around.

No year will ever be the year of linux on the desktop with this stupid attitude of throwing working code away.

Who is still using a 486 and also needs modern kernel features? Let them run an older kernel. They are going to have to run older software anyway because a 486 with more than about 16MB is rare, and modern Linux distributions require multiple GB of RAM.
