Same method here. The premiums on Robosats are also lower than Bisq most of the time. So even with low fees on chain, I think it works out better.
How I purchase Non-KYC #bitcoin:
1. First, I run a Start9, full BTC node
2. Download Tor browser
3. Purchase BTC with RoboSats (using my Strike cash balance)
4. Send the purchased Non-KYC sats via lightning to my Alby wallet
5. Use Boltz to swap out the newly aquired Non-KYC BTC from lighting to BTC On-Chain
6. Send to cold storage device (Jade) which I use with Sparrow Wallet
Very easy. If I can do it, you can too.

The bad premiums on Bisq are only for orders no one takes, so they stay up and make it seem like that's all there is. Make your own offer for 1% over market and it will be taken.
FWIW you can export all Bisq trade data to analyze and I've found the average trade price is very close to the daily market rate.
Cool, I will look into doing that thank you
That's a good point. I usually look for offers to take and rarely post offers to buy.
I'm actually unable to download it for mac. Well, Im abel to, but there is an error in the download and I've tried a few times
Macs have known issue that requires an extra step. https://bisq.wiki/Downloading_and_installing#macOS
