    I have used both iOS and Android for more than a decade. After every update on both systems I have to go through and delete/disable junk I don’t need/privacy issues.

    The stock android pixel UI has gotten so full shit I have to use a launcher.

    iOS’s UI is terrible to use with everything taking twice as long as it should. So many illogical hidden commands.

    Everything has gotten randomly harder to get basic things done.

    My win 10 business computer with classic shell will stop being supported the end of the year… Oh joy…

      What? I use a stock Pixel Pro and there’s no fluff. It’s very vanilla, but does everything I need it to do without fuss. I was using Nova Launcher Pro, but they sold it to an advertising company a while ago, so I went back to the stock launcher.

        I am typing this on a pixel 8

        Try disabling and removing the Google search bar. Can’t be done. Since Google search has gone down hill I never use it.

        How about removing the the news feeds? You have to disable the Google app to get rid of it. If I want to read the news, I do a quick search. It’s not hard to do. I don’t need a news feed on my phone.

        What about the stupid at a glance at the top of the home screen? It just takes up space for no benefit over the notification bar. It can’t be fully removed.

        I also never us any voice assistant etc because it’s faster to type it in than repeat myself.

        I currently have 19 apps on this phone disabled that I can’t uninstall… No fluff huh…

        All of my apps are organized into folders and I am never more than one swipe and two taps away from opening the app I want. I don’t scroll, I don’t search, I know where everything is and have it opening in under a second.
