Is it weird that you prefer different tools for different jobs?
Nope.

Reinstalling the machine from scratch is the impulse I’m trying to grow out of!
Didn’t end up needing to add —volumes. -a did the trick.
Thanks, this worked perfectly!
There’s only one option—drive a stake through its heart, cut the head off, and never speak of it again. That thing’s cursed.
Mounting to a new folder name? Wtf? Are you running this as a VM? What does your fstab look like? This is going to keep me up at night, you monster. /s
But you’re forgetting the most important thing—people don’t want to change. They want a big corporation to tie themselves to because brand loyalty is a replacement for the need to learn.
Linux isn’t going to replace your phone with AppleCare. Linux doesn’t have a support line to bitch to or a geek squad to call. In fact, most of the places your typical user would think to go for support will likely balk at a Linux system because they aren’t power users either—just employees trained for a specific service.
I love Linux. I flirt with going 100% FOSS all the time. But I wouldn’t recommend it for my mom. All the free security in the world couldn’t replace the value of being able to tell her “take it to Apple and let them fix it for you”.
So yes, I’m with you, but I also think we need to acknowledge that all tools serve a purpose, and some people prefer the kids meal over the big boy buffet—and that’s ok.
But will it activate my transitions lenses so I look like a cool guy wearing sunglasses indoors?
Daring Fireball vs. Ming-Chi Kuo
FIGHT!
Howdy, partner. 🤠
Amen to that.
I’m yet to find a single thing I need to do on my phone that required a side loaded app too. I’m sure there are cases, and I am glad the option exists, but it isn’t like people with a normal iPhone are completely shackled.
I think a lot of power users out there would be pleasantly surprised if they took another look at Apple with a more open mind.
Just wait until you realize what I do with the screwdriver.
