All use case dependent of course

Dont really care for carplay or android auto, find them more annoying than using them tbh

I use Android Auto and find Google maps navigation far better than the cars built in SatNav. The maps look nice on the screen too the built in ones are a bit bland.

My car only supports Android Auto so have never used CarPlay so can’t comment on that.

I have a magsafe holder for my phone, so just bring up maps on there when I need to. otherwise select music from there with relative ease

I’d remove Windows from that sentence. Although Windows is by far the biggest gaming platform, I’ve used Bazzite Linux on my gaming PC for well over a year now. So good not having to deal with Windows and it’s foibles

I was under the impression that not every game can run off it, DRM wise? That was the only reason I haven't switched, as I'm all for Unix, hence the love for mac's, being that they're closed source BSD.

That’s a good point that I keep forgetting as I don’t play those games and have no interest in doing so. Think it was the CoD games especially that were problematic.
