I already ditched Windows for Linux a month ago because of spyware. Everything Google-related is next. My phone is going to be the hardest thing to de-infest.

I kinda want to, but I'm also a sucker for ease of use

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (6 children)

For ease of use Apple might be the most convenient alternative to Google. At least for smartphones.

[–] moonburster@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ease of use and apple are not near each other in my dictionary.

I think a lot of things are designed very unlogical

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That might be because you are just not used to it. Comparable to the switch from Windows to Linux.

I'm using Linux and tried different distros. I also used chrome os and windows Phone. I tried ios, hence my feelings towards it

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And many people tried Linux and were having difficulties adapting to it at first and most probably gave up. Just like you did with iOS.

[–] moonburster@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pff, sure buddy. Used it for 4 months due to my phone being dead. Go shill someone else. If the adoption of a new os goes against what I want of said os, then it's not an os for me. Simple as that

I don't care what you use. I was just arguing in support of OSes that people dismiss because they are unfamiliar with it. Calm down.
