Hi, I’m wondering myself is root useful or not ? In which case it can be useful ? And Root with magisk is unsecure ?

    That’s like saying being able to turn left is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your car.

      The thing about “knowing just enough to be dangerous” is typically the person doesn’t realize that’s all they know.

      No, its not even remotely like that. You clearly have no working knowledge of how Linux based OS’s work. There a reason so many actual Linux distros ship with Root disabled and want you to use sudo instead.

          You don’t directly, certain apps are already allowed to access certain system level permissions. You can’t directly without Rooting. Although arguably, many ADB commands are performing root level changes.
