  • You are going to get lots of downvotes, and this comment will too.

    Linux on desktop has come a long way in usability, but it is still far behind Windows/Mac. It has lots of small issues that add up to a frustrating experience for mainstream users.

    It is good for power users who don’t mind tweaking and going to the terminal.

    It is ok for users who perform very simple tasks (e.g web browsing), and occasionally have the support from power users.

    But for most people in between, it is a struggle. I dislike Windows and I have tried migrating to Linux many times, there is always something that requires unnecessary effort to make it work the way I need.









  • Apple Maps sucks and boy I’ve tried.

    For me, Apple Maps is good in some aspects and not so good in some. I still use Google Maps for finding businesses etc. I think its quality is highly depending on the region.

    Comparing emulation is crazy talk.

    Not trying to compare with Android of course. Just pleasantly surprised that it is finally possible on iOS. My Samsung S23+ is still my main emulation console.

    No custom launchers.

    The only custom launcher I liked on Android is KISS Launcher. Now with iOS all I need to do is swipe down and I get the same functionality (and looking much better).

    I miss Fdroid every single day.

    True. For me this is the biggest pro for Android. That’s why I am still considering an Android tablet (can’t quite decide it yet).
