No, even when I did try years ago, to break into one device to get another system in, just the concept of what it takes to do so upset my stomach. I don’t even like secure-boot hoops and EFI and try to get to bios booting everything. I did try it for a while, efi, and hated it some more. Bios - mbr … and my nearly 10y old PC is faster than I would ever need.
It is amazing what google and MS project as security, both providing dummy terminals to their supercomputer as operating systems. What is security for android if you don’t trust google (same manner for MS).
One can take it further, to any hardware we use, since we really don’t have open-source free hardware. Maybe pre-Ryzen AMD and possibly core2duo may have been the closest less evil alternatives to what goes around now as 99% of computing.
