I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don't even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

  • how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?

  • I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn't see it)

  • surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

Welcome to Linux for Mobile.
The next generation OS for keeping your smartphone private and your conversations (kinda) secure.

It's "next generation", because we probably won't have a good enough solution in the lifetime of the current generation's people.

But if you have both: enough money to buy an extra fairphone for testing and the time and ability to program drivers, please consider it.

As much as I love Linux for mobile idea, it doesn't have a lot of apps that people rely, like banking or government related stuff.

I am a desktop person.
My main reasons for using a smartphone instead of a phone, are:

  1. GPS Maps. This is something I most probably won't be able to contribute to, while at the same time, I need it a lot.
  2. UPI (Unified Payments Interface). I can manage with paper money, but this is just too useful. If Linux mobile were to pick-up, I think I could manage to get it supported by the Govt.
  3. WhatsApp, because no matter how much I don't want to, others, including workplace teammates, will make that a requirement.

Until these requirements are met, I will associate Linux mobile with words like, "next" and "tomorrow".
