I'm getting sick of Android's bullshit. Between bloatware and Google spying on me, I'm seriously considering rooting my phone and putting Linux on it. Does anyone have opinions about doing this, for or against?

Why don't you just buy a k4000 pro? It's not bloated, it's cheap, it runs smooth, and it's very tough.
