thank you for your responses and sry i forgot to add,

Im not super familiar with the pc hardware market and im not sure if this is a riffoff price

My old i5 540m died and i was thinking of getting a n100 laptop, but the cheapest i can find is around 350 in USD and after checking the benchmarks, theyre not way off compared to an i5 6200u, so that kinda caught me off in a weird dilemma.

It'll most likely to be a linux machine.

Aside from negative nature consequences caused by humans, they also eat themselves....so yea...sad.

My only concern to these machines is that if theyre running an intel chip, its most likely to have intel ME which is a QOL stuff but a potential backdoor. Luckily, these cheap mini pcs has most of the time, an unlocked bios, so it is easier to pull the bios bin, patch it with intel ME removal and then reflash the patched bios.

I find the US branded ones (HP, DELL, etc.) more pain in the ass to patch the bios because most of them has locked bios. Doable but a pain in the ass for sure.

Both looks inbred, but not too inbred to have genomic erosion

Cool

For bloatware, this is what I use if you have access to adb https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation/

As for privacy, I cant think of any approach for base roms aside from piping your connection through a vpn that screens every IP or domain from that device whatever it reaches to. Unfortunately, I dont know any vpn that could do that.

That is some knowledge I wish I never learned.

Why, instead of safely entering a BIOS setup

effiency and lawsuits, phones has embedded hardware, its a bit op to have that initial hardware calls for a embedded hardware system.

BIOS is initally an IBM tech

_does the cell phone brick when installing the Custom ROM wrongly? _

Android is based on linux, that includes the partitioned bootloader (mostly grub on linux and fastboot on android, they're not technically the same but the idea is somewhat related) if that partition is messed up then its most likely not to boot

Wouldn't this protection be better for users? I mean, this could be done through ADB.

Android is owned by a corporation, I dont think that will be their primary objective

Also, do you think it's possible that this way of doing things will come to the computer, with ARM hoping to gain a good share of the market and all?

ARM is mostly a cpu design corporation that offers license fee to other companies to manufacture thier cpu designs, they're everywhere. It depends on thier licensees what to add to make profit.
