That was just one reason I gave. I personally do not like android, and my past experience with a pixel phone did not go well.

I want a phone that’s usable without having to worry about custom roms and Google locking down side loading of apps in the future. There was enough outrage that they gave up on their recent attempt, but we all know that’s not permanent.

My personal preference would be for a Linux phone that works and does so well. That doesn’t exist yet.

Switching phones isn’t necessarily easy or doable for everyone. I’ve got my device already, I appreciate this new app since it’s usable without me spending more money or changing everything about my mobile device.

What does politics have to do with an operating system? How are republicans annd MAGA immune from your statement? It’s best to leave politics out of it.

You’re wrong about the games part. Most of us have no issues with that because of proton. As long as the game doesn’t require kernel level anti-cheat malware.

And yeah, 3D program written for windows is not going to run on Linux natively without issues. That’s common sense. It’s up to the developers to support more platforms, and that will happen with market share.

You may not like tap to pay or CarPlay but I and a lot of others do.

It’s a deal breaker for me to not have these two features in a product I’d like to spend hard earned money on.

Fedora image writer. Thank me later.

I failed at convincing anyone at every company I’ve worked with. Getting a MacBook is the only alternative for me.

I’ll give a contrasting opinion.

I’ve used both Fedora and Manjaro extensively, and I prefer Manjaro.

The reason is that I prefer the package management of Arch more than fedora. I’ve had no issues finding what I need through the official arch repositories and the AUR (secondary choice).

Manjaro is a bleeding edge distro so keep that in mind. Personally, I’ve had no problems in the last year of running it.

I have nightmares of ndiswrapper and Broadcom chipsets. Struggled for ages to try and make that work when I was running Suse Linux. :shudder:

I have a Synology NAS (from 3 years ago). My photos are synced from my iPhone via the Synology photos application and can be accessed from my Linux desktop via nfs.

I found alternatives for almost everything except Apple Music. I just connect my phone via Bluetooth nowadays to play music at a higher bitrate than what Apple allows via browser. Wish they would build an official client.

I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.
