The best decision I made was to switch to Linux Mint and Samsung Z Fold 6. I can't believe I was ever a fan of apple products. Hobbled walled garden products. If you're in tech you should not use apple products. Unless you're building an iphone app.

I got on the apple train on Mojave. Before that I was enticed by iOS 6. It was a good platform. But now it just have too much restrictions and other weirdness like not being able to delete apple’s apps, writing files on network shares, not able to adjust system fonts (like the menu bar).

While I still keep the Mac for professional purpose, I move over to fedora.

I've had iPhones since the 3GS and not once have I seen a convincing argument for why I should switch. I need my phone to make calls, send text messages, and to be a 2FA device. The secure "hobbled walled garden" you're talking about is a selling point.

1. i can install any apk i want

2. i can transfer files by just plugging in my phone to any usb

3. better battery, i can go to 0% plug in and in 30 seconds turn my phone on. on iphone i have to wait at least 30 minutes.

4. actual innovation in hardware like a foldable
