1. I know full well that use of Apple gear and services has become an abusive relationship. It’s been that way for a while now.

2. I know from prior experience and recently dabbling that, while Linux is more than workable on desktop, there will be significant time required to migrate to different apps and, most notably, to change muscle memory.

3. I’m a “business user,” not a developer. I’m a nerd (neovim is my copilot) and enjoy tinkering, but ultimately I need shit to just work. I don’t have the time or patience to constantly find workarounds and fix broken things.

4. It’s most difficult to imagine letting go of iPhone, but I’m open to it. See # 3 regarding “need shit to just work.”

That said, I’m looking for input from other *non-developers* who’ve made or attempted to make the switch. What would you do differently? Would you do it at all? Did you relapse to Apple? Hit me.

I've been on Mac since OS 10.0. iPhone for 10 years. Balls deep. Resigned to remain so

Played with Linux before, but trying to get basic peripherals to work is frankly really dull, and like you said, we have better things to do

Still think Apple is better than MS or Android for privacy
