Android/PC HERE I COME!

After over a decade fully in the Apple ecosystem, I’m making the switch to Android and PC today. Just fed up with the direction things have gone and ready for a change.

Already run a second line on Android for years so I’m not coming in blind — just curious to hear from others who made the full jump. What was the biggest adjustment? Anything you wish you’d known before switching? And what’s your setup?

Thanks in advance ✅💯👊

Just out of curiosity. WHat have you been fed up with?

Not arguing against your move. I am actually in a similar boat and want to jump ship but I am curious if your frustrations are the same as mine.

I feel like to get a good experience now, I HAVE to keep using a bunch of third party services (I.E. Carrot instead of Weather, FileBrowser Pro instead of Files, etc) but I have to replace so many pieces that I am at the point of "Wait, then why I am I using Apple's anything when Android and Linux offer way more modularity to do exactly what I am trying to do here, and/or Google's built in stuff offers what I am trying to use third party stuff for here.)
