i just want to fucking play battlefield 1 when i want that i own. i don’t care about your EA live services, i don’t care about your ads. i already gave you my money because i liked the game. but i fucking hate you so much EA, like you’re on top of the list

i use mint on my nvidia gpu with latest drivers and i have no problem

it’s not gonna decrease from there. linux only needs some product to push usage percentage, like steam deck. it’s key to the mass adoption but i also don’t care that much about percentage

i hope signal becomes the “go-to” app in near future in europe because i’m sick of using whatsapp

they obviously not on the same level as google and meta, and media writes often about apple not wanting to unlock a criminal’s iphone in a fbi case.

average user just knows that apple doesn’t give your data to 3rd party, nobody thinks about apple being the bad one here.

people don’t even think about apple, when talking about data privacy. they look google, amazon and facebook differently than apple.

i’m using an iphone and i had to pay for icloud storage for like a year or two. than, i bought a pc with 2tb ssd and wanted to download all of my data from icloud and delete my subscription. downloading was no problem since you can request all of your data, problem was my 128gb data was not sorted and i had to delete all of my photos by hand from icloud.

i’m thinking about buying a google pixel 7a, since it’s cheap and i don’t need much more, and use graphene os with it. i can return my iphone when purchasing and 7a is gonna cost something like €100-200

yeah, i get it, but it´s the same thing if you´re switching from windows to macos or the other way around. you loose searching capability [which is cmd + space] if you switch to windows, and you need a seperate app for window tiling in macos. lots of people agree that linux is the most customizable os in the market compared to macos and windows, they even have a seperate subreddit in reddit just for “ricing” which means customizing linux, you can look them in r/unixporn. btw, you have the option to run a command while using hot corners, it´s directly in the system settings. here´s a screenshot that i took just now.

i guess you’re right about the “average” user. i forgot the nanny.

integrating every aspect of the customization to os itself is tricky but i think distros in general already have pretty good customization settings natively. you can do themes, icons etc.

you should explain the word “customization” a bit more.

didn’t read that it’s a work device, but beginner linux distros are easy to install, like windows. OP probably shouldn’t install another os on work device. making the switch is easy for the most people and you can use windows whenever you want besides it. linux adaptation has nothing to do with my comment. i don’t care about my downvotes, what os people use or linux user percentage, but they should be aware of their options if these things annoy them. if windows works for you, and these things don’t annoy you, you can happily use it.

use linux on daily basis, far better for your mental health. you can use virtual machine to work with these shitty softwares, or you can always dual-boot. make the switch!
