Why don't you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can't really suggest you one, if we don't know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

It was hard for me too, but PopOS made my life easy back in the day when I first tried.

No drivers needed, everything worked out of the box, including the Nvidia GeForce 2060 Mobile. So I just needed to get comfortable with the OS in general.

As others have said, it may be the same WiFe.

I am pretty sure the iPhone is listening though, because I saw a prank where a woman whispered to the husband's iPhone about baby stuff (to have a baby), and he complained about receiving a ton of ads about baby stuff just after that. So yes, welcome to the apple garden ahah

Good job on that! Linux is way better for average uses like you described. 😊

[–] Sterben@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, It makes sense. I don't have a Mac at the moment, so I can't do the same as you 😁

I am using Beeper Mini: it is kinda cool to be honest. If you care to try it, now is the best time, because it's free for a limited time. Of course, you need to use your apple id, and you can't use your number (but they are trying to fix it).

After it will be 2$ a month.

Really extreme, but good to know. 😉

[–] Sterben@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, true that. :)

Surface the Web with VPN, Ad blocker, Anti-Tracker, use Linux. In 5 years, I have never encountered a virus or a trojan. Following these 4 "rules" and you'll be fine on any website.

iPhone 8 stills fine for jailbreaking, but newer devices have more security layers that need to be bypassed, therefore you will have stability problems.

Also now, jailbreaks are rootless, which I don't know what really means (probably less tweaks functionality).

Are you sure you want to use shady 3th party service like that? You wouldn't want to break out of Apple's eco system, wouldn't you? 😂

Jailbreak? Jailbreak is dead since iOS 15 but ok 🤙 Nowadays, buying an iPhone to jailbreak afterward, doesn't make much sense at this point. You pay so much to get stability and constancy, and jailbreaking takes both away.

As ex jailbreaker, I switched to Android for this reason.

Probably they will add a way to sideload ~~APKs~~ iPAs on device, without 3th party tools.

They might increase the 3 apps limit too.
