Today, the board of our company group took the decision that we will leave all American operating systems and computer brands, and move to Linux. Personally, I understand this decision and stand firmly behind it.

After many, many years on this forum, and a loyal Apple customer since the mid-80’s, I therefore say … Goodbye Apple Insider. Yesterday, our love relation ended.

I’ve done the same thing personally. I’ve been on Linux exclusively for the past month. Despite the teething pains and the steep learning curve, I’m glad to be returning to what computing is supposed to be about: personal agency. Apple lost its way and became another personal data harvester obsessed with nickel and diming customers so that it could spend millions currying favour with unsavoury governments.

My next phone will not be iOS-based. If it weren’t still so performant, I’d make the switch now.

Beyond how Apple should respond or not, the situation illustrates exactly why I use Cryptomator on iCloud and Proton for other services.

A long shot, but bringing back optical audio output (which TV used to have) would be great for AirPlay directly to the stereo system without requiring a third-party HDMI audio extractor component. Not holding my breath, of course.

This is exactly what I want as well and would happily upgrade just for this.

Believe me — Apple fanboys are a real reason to switch platforms…
