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.

That’s your preference though. I prefer Sony’s symmetrical sticks. It’s ok to have your preference, no need to state that it’s the objectively better one.

Local residents in cities with data centers are dealing with higher electricity costs. Those costs get passed on from the corps to the local residents. On top of that they’re dealing with water scarcity and pollution.

Without accounting for the cost of a PC being so crazy, you really don’t need a college course to install and run Linux, or to setup steam on it.

Give it a shot on an old/cheap device someday. It’s come a very long way in usability.

mpv is cool and all, but it’s not going to play media on my Apple TV which is using Jellyfin via Infuse.

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.

My company’s policy is 90 miles. I know people who have to drive 1.5 hours to work each way.

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.

You win 😂

Fedora image writer. Thank me later.

Your sound card would probably work without issue. Don’t rely on the manufacturers website about drivers when it comes to that.

For gamepass, you have to either give that up, play on Xbox, or stay with windows. That’s something that Microsoft’s will never support on Linux.
