I respect people’s right to use apple products, but please stop asserting “privacy”, big corps doesn’t give a shit.

    Listen. I’ll be the first to pirate and the first to ditch giving companies like Amazon or Google my money.

    But I draw the line at my phone. I tried GrapheneOS and had so many issues with things like banking that it’s just not viable for most people.

    I love my iPhone for what I use it for and it works as intended. I listened to yall and removed windows for Linux and that was a shit show too. Nvidia drivers ugh. WiFi just stopping etc. easier to use windows to load the one app of stream I use and do some dev work.

      I understand. When my Win10 PC was approaching End Of Life, I switched to Linux instead of buying a new computer. I’m fairly familiar with Linux since all my servers are Debian, and it’s been great. I tried three distros and they all were unstable due to my hardware. When I asked what I should do, I was told I should buy a new computer that was compatible with Linux. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I’m using Ubuntu now on that computer, and it’s more stable, but I’ve still had to use a boot drive to roll back TimeShift after a hard crash.

        And this is my man issue. Time. Time is precious and I don’t want headaches where I don’t need them. That is phone and pc.

        Sure I’ll make life harder and more expensive by not shopping at massive companies. Or not using Netflix or Disney so I have to shop elsewhere and build a media server, on Linux, but most people just want to turn on a pc open stream and play Factorio.
