Same here, I have the nickname "hacker" at school just because I use an android and am tech savy. I have seen people that didn't know what a folder was, thx apple, and thought I was hacking the school or smth when I updated some stuff in termux.

That's wild to me that people consider using an android device to be technical in anyway. It's literally designed to be user friendly enough for grandmas and grandpas to use. iPhones have really rotted some people's brains.
