  • I contribute where I can, nothing significant.

    However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can’t use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.

    I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don’t have my iPhone with me.

    I can only wish the Big Tech maps could use OSM as a standard protocol, with sharing live traffic data, hazards, etc, between map apps. It would be for the greater good and would make using an open source alternative a lot more useful…


  • That is exactly why I choose to use FOSS including Linux. As much as I want to standby this principle, I have come to a breaking point after dealing with its issues, issues we have all experienced. I believe it is hands down the best choice for server use, but for work and productivity, I need something more matured that is going to work out of the box. I am glad that the community here took this criticism well but I think it’s important to discuss and understand that there are still some strides to be made. But at the end of the day, I’m just some guy ranting and who knows, maybe I’ll be installing a Linux distro after a month of using Mac OS.
