For those who say "you can use this or that software program," the answer is no. | ||

| 6 | 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. | ||
| 7 | 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. | ||

| 31 | 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. | ||

| 33 | 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. |
