Why I'm NOT Getting An Iphone
I have been happily running one distro of Linux or another for maybe 10 years now. It is what I run on my main PC, though I have a laptop with Windows 10 (upgraded from 7). I kept the windows because it came on the laptop, and some apps are proprietary.
Anyway, my Droid RazrHD Maxx is a couple of years old now, and they are not updating the OS, though it has been running fine. Cracked screen and case, still dependable though. So I was thinking of going with a Samsung Note7 when the news of those catching fire came out.
Friends told me they were using Iphones for years with no problems, so I began looking at the 6S plus. Came within a whisker's breadth of buying one when I read something on the web about difficulty in transferring files between the phone and the PC if you're running a Linux OS.
So that is the deal breaker for me. Just fortunate that I read that blurb, or I'd be an unhappy camper.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
