iOS is the worst.

Absolutely worst thing I’ve ever done to myself intentionally (and that list is looooooooong).

I really liked messing around with android, it was basically why I got into Linux… spent years messing about with android so Ubuntu felt so similar. It was an easy transition for me. (Other distros, even Debian based, have not been so welcoming, and I don’t want to go back to Ubuntu, but it felt.. right.. so I probably will.. unless someone tells me about a similar ui for anything else ;) )

I do hope Linux gains at least enough support as an OS for mobile that one can make it work.. I mean windows had a phone (possibly several shitty phones run on windows..?) and that wasn’t a big deal but Linux..? clutches pearls certainly not!
