  • Privacy sure Linux has it beat. Security? Simply untrue, particularly by default, unless you put a lot of time into configuration, in not exactly sure where that narrative is from it’s completely false. macOS for example has way better app permission isolation that Linux does unless you use only flatpaks. Also the open source system scanner that gives devices a cybersecurity score that I’m forgetting the name of at the moment can be used to prove this correct without going into extremely long detail. Compare the results from macOS and Linux by default and it’s pretty solidly in macOS favor. I use both but this idea needs to stop being spread simply because people have a vendetta against closed source. I love Linux probably more than macOS but there are still reasons to like and use macOS.






  • Sheesh those are unacceptable issues for iOS devices at this point. Honestly if they even stopped for just one singular update to fix things or add what’s users want I’d be happy, but I guess you can just do it yourself on android so that’s part of the appeal. Linux is also great, maybe snapdragon x elite 2 will convince me to ditch my MacBook but hardware is too good. My desktop runs it and I generally have few problems but I’d really miss Logic Pro if I switched to Linux, tbh that’s my biggest hang up. Also I don’t think Linux has quite the security level as macOS does at least by default so I’d have to do some research into that. But yeah I tried graphene on a pixel 9 for a week and man I forgot what it was like to actually make the phone how you want, and actually like have swipe to type that works for once. I’m considering grabbing a pixel 10 pro while they’re on sale and waiting for graphene support, the MagSafe equivalence is a big feature for me personally.
