I worked at AT&T when iphones first were a thing. Everything was proprietary (still is) with them, and employees weren't allowed to own phones for the first few years on employee accounts for some unknown reason. When I became a case manager for the executive response team, I finally got to have an iPhone. And... It was boring. I couldn't customize it (granted this was the iPhone 3G in 2008) and it just really didn't excite me. Then I got an Android phone on a whim, and fell in love. All the options!! The things you can do or choose not to do! Amazing! And still to this day whenever I play with an iPhone... It bores me to death.

I don't watch YouTube videos or click on those type of links, so I don't know what you posted, but no Windows doesn't bother me. It's just normal to use it.

And cool if Linux is installed now on laptops at Best Buy, didn't know that. But not many still, I'm sure.

I'm in the US and my thought is that it's easier to use sms because not everyone uses Signal, not everyone uses Telegram, and those types. If they did... One person would prefer Snapchat, the other would prefer Signal.. Too many choices. With SMS, it's just your phone number, and everyone has a phone number.

Otherwise you gotta get usernames for different people for different apps.. It's too complicated.

Because Linux is Niche. It doesn't as far as I know come pre installed at the store when you buy a computer. Etc. That's why people still use Windows.

I personally don't find anything wrong with Windows. I use it for work and home and it's fine.

Aww man I'm using Sync, I don't see options to change it, all I see is how many points a post has.

Thanks to this post, I changed my search engine in Vivaldi to DuckDuckGo, and Edge uses Bing already, and I changed Mull's engine to Ecosia. Phew! Now I feel better.

Google when did you get so crummy?

That's so strange! Here in the US lots of people still use sms, and it's free/included unlimited in all the plans. I have heard previously other countries like in Asia and stuff, don't really use sms either though, so that's interesting to me...
