    It is because it isolates apps and stops apps from using permissions it isnt allowed to use. In windows mac and linux programs just have access to all the user has access to which is very insecure. + on phones programs are most of the time installed by an appstore, so no installing viruses by beeing a idiot.

        Thats a big if. But on linux you cant by default on most distros isolate programs like you can on android.

            In a user frendly manner would be a better wording. But the bigger thing is the sandboxing android does. That doesnt exist on desktop OSs.

                But the average user and most advanced users dont do any of that. Android always does that you cant do that. Android was build with security in mind. GNU/Linux is just a copy of earlier unix systems that didnt think about security. Android has the superior security architecture. You can of course use QubesOS but from what ive seen its not user friendly and has very bad performance.
