@jaredwhite Iām plotting my route out of being 100% in the Apple dev eco system. Largely it looks like Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose, I think for me as I want to continue making mobile apps. I can see a world when I do that to cover Android/desktop, with some shared code for iOS. And give Appleās approach to things, I donāt see this as the anathema I wouldāve done a couple of years ago even! @dave I get it! I was absolutely an Apple fanboy for many, many years. But more recently I've grown pretty disillusioned with how the company treats its developer community, and honestly I'm more of an "iPad" fan than a "Mac" fan these days (just love the tablet form-factor)ā¦so sort of makes sense to go hybrid with a Linux machine as the "PC" in the mix. I don't know yet about mobileā¦I'm no fan of Google either, but maybe there's a world where an "ungoogled" Android variant could appeal to me? @jaredwhite maybe - Iāve had a play with GrapheneOS recently on a test device and Iā¦ again, didnāt hate it š For me it looks like building a NAS, and setting up backup for that, and then transferring iCloud Drive, Photos, and even password management to that system. Making sure Iām not starting from scratch on whatever platform Iām using. But yeah; Apple doesnāt respect the developer community, and thatās wearing thin on me š I am running the Framework 13 AMD with Fedora/Gnome and I couldn't be happier, if you feel like you'd enjoy using it. I cannot recommend it enough |
@dave Yeah, I've been really enjoying it on my M1 Mac mini, so much so that I'm giving serious thought to buying a Framework laptop some time this summer.
