    I seriously get annoyed at the amount of work it takes to keep a PC running.

    Can you elaborate more on that? In my experience unless you set up a complicated NAS or home server setup maintaining a personal computer doesn’t require much upkeep. I prefer it over a phone because of the physical keyboard and superior window / tab / organization options.

    PS: Wrote this comment from my phone anyway 🥲

      You see all those things you just listed?

      Those are things you hardly ever worry about or whose existence you completely forget about when you ditch a PC.

      Your computer is an annoying child you never parented.

      Wanna boot it up? Better wait for a minute or two. Oh! Now it needs an update because something went wrong last night when it was supposed to automatically do it.

      Oops! Lost internet connection. Better go pecking around menus.

      Shit. It’s acting up still. Your game you’re trying to play is losing frames. Something to do with heat management. Something about a graphics card? Who frigging knows, better ask the internet from a phone.

      P.S. Your antivirus is out of date and you need money to renew your subscription. The process will take another few hours of your time because you have to babysit it past all the AI that’s sure to get in the way.

      Bah! Humbug!

      EDIT: The angry PC people typing aggressive insults using their phones proves the point and is quite funny.

        It sounds like you’ve been burned by a poor PC experience. Your problems are legitimate though they should be rare, which is why your sweeping characterization of the PC experience is being downvoted.

        I am much more interested in your mobile workflow! What apps do you use? Do you use workarounds for something PC users wouldn’t think about? Do you use accessories like a keyboard/mouse/monitor?

        Holy fuck I wish I had read this comment first. You are actually an idiot of the highest order.

        Can introduce you to our lord and savior Debian? All your troubles will go away when you accept Linux into your heart.

          No. That requires a PC.

          Tablets and phones allow keyboards and run 99 percent of the programs or tasks I could ever need.

            I guess if all you do is troll people online, a phone is just fine

            Why do carpenters need all those saws and chisels? I have a perfectly good staircase right here already
