Currently it supports AppImage, but Flatpak version will possibly be available in future: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor/issues/1
Switching phones is easy or doable for everyone, assuming you just switch when you’re upgrading your phone anyways.
That was just one reason I gave. I personally do not like android, and my past experience with a pixel phone did not go well.
I want a phone that’s usable without having to worry about custom roms and Google locking down side loading of apps in the future. There was enough outrage that they gave up on their recent attempt, but we all know that’s not permanent.
My personal preference would be for a Linux phone that works and does so well. That doesn’t exist yet.
I also can’t wait for a Linux phone, I’m tired of Google’s involvement with Android. I also don’t like Google and Samsung devices. The nice thing is that you can choose others.
For some, the phone they use is mandated by their employer.
The phone you use on your personal time isn’t, and if an employer mandates that you use an iPhone, they’d better buy it for you.
iMessage is locking me in personally. I’m in a lot of iMessage group chats and I think I would be excluded if I don’t have it. They’re still my friends so I know they would invite me separately to things but I might miss stuff.
That has to be a reason to not use an iThing, right?
The fact that there’s a lock in at all pisses me off enough that I’d force our group to change apps or exclude me, I’d be doing them a favor imo. I’d be more polite about it, of course, but I have no use for closed ecosystems that only work on one device, and I’m not quiet about it. I don’t care what device you use, even if it’s an apple device, but don’t use software that doesn’t also work on other devices.
