3 -How to get away from Big Tech? Well, I don't want to get rid of everything at once. I'm a big Linux fan, but because of photo editing software (no, I'm not using Adobe software!) and music recording software, my MacBook Pro will stay for a while. For those who say "you can use this or that software program," the answer is no.

5 -Here are two examples:

7 -1. Photo editing software: I'm using DxO PhotoLab 9 for now. It's not open source, but as far as I know it's still European (from France). And no, I haven't seen any Linux program that can compete with this.
8 -1. Music software: I'm a guitar player and use different tools, mainly ones from Toontrack and TH-U. And no, I haven't found any software like this on Linux.

12 -First of all a list of Apps on my iPhone that will be part on my quest. I'll already give my expectation, lets see what happens at the end of this adventure.

28 -Secondly, I will also look at user-friendliness of /e/OS. Apple has a very high level of user-friendlinessregarding the UI. And, yes, it used to be better years ago. Apple is also hiding more and more options in the UI.

30 -Third, I'm getting my Fairphone delivered by Odido. That means it will be delivered with its default Android 16. It is not clean Android; it has Fairphone adjustments. And as far as I know, this Android version is somewhat adjusted in China -> not good.
