For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

    I’ve never had one which required a specific phone, but I’ve been excluded from the work group chat at two different jobs because it was on iMessage and I was the only Android user.

    I honestly consider this an advantage of using Android though :P

      Wow, that is a uniquely idiotic problem caused by a dumb societal trend and perpetuated by a malicious company more interested in locking people into their products than innovating in an actually competitive manner. It’s sad that this is even an issue.
