>Startup sequences are unneeded to be known because their modern hardware solves it's own problems when things go wrong (ChromeOS for example can just re-image and restore files/settings automatically upon boot failure) Yes, because nothing ever goes wrong or needs to be changed to fit your own process Silly user, just do it my way. This type of thinking os anathema to developing computer skills. Computer skills are the knowledge to decompose work processes into logical sets of instructions such that you can utilize artfully arranged sand to do the work for you. That still requires knowing how that sand works at some level, and the thought that went into the tools for you to use. I will never use an Android/IOS phone to the level I will my linux systems. Why? Because the people who architected Android specifically did so with their own and not my interests in mind. When you need to read an asinine amount of literature to realize mofos did everything possible to keep you away from the hardware, to keep them from having to have a "support division" because they weren't interested in empowering you beyond in the capacity as a consumer of their service, it gets to point I reject anything going on under that paradigm as legitimate computing tbqh.
