  • I use Linux for personal use, and Ive been using windows for work due to necessity.

    There is one app I need that does not support Linux. I contacted their support asking about a Linux version and they suggested using waysroid to run the android version of the app.

    So, when I have free time I’m working on switching things over.

    My main motivation is Microsoft pushing ads everywhere and being aggressive about using online accounts and stuff that like.












  • This one needs to be illegal.

    Apps that you need push notifications turned on for, but also serve ads.

    For example, where I live the company that does riding sharing also does all kinds of deliveries. I get notifications about all kinds of restaurant deals.

    The version of Amazon we have sends all kinds of unwanted messages from sellers if you add an item from their shop to your cart. It can be turned off, but it needs to be done one by one manually.

    Even the mobile wallet apps that we use here send all kinds of ads.

    Like, I need notifications about payments and that is it. Stop giving me full screen popup ads each time I open the app to make a payment. It just slows me down and frustrates me.
