What a journey! The watch looks so freakin' cool, but I already have an elcheapo smart watch that I don't even use to track steps and heart rate. I figure I'll die at some point with it or without it, lol.
I couldn't fathom going open source on a phone. Too many things now require 2FA that isn't handled well outside of things like Authenticator, or shitty third party apps that are their own versions of authenticators.
I know you can use things like bitwarden for that, but some institutions insist you use their own, closed source, closed and federated auth apps, no questions allowed.
Its harder and harder to do business without some of them.
I have seen people run several different distros on mac arm based hardware, but ... well, why? I think if my laptop were to die tomorrow, I'd replace it with another macbook air, because the form factor is really nice, and the keyboard really is outstanding.
(So much so, that I am often preferring it over my big boy mechanical keyboard on my desktop!) :(
Speaking of the desktop, when I'm through playing the stuff I have installed on my bazzite partition, I think I will image it, and then try Arch and hope for the best. I'm still having to dual boot into windows because Photoshop and PowerBI have no *nix alternatives that can remotely compete.
I hope you can daily drive that phone, it being truly open is an interesting thing!
