But it is, it's very reliable. So long as users don't install anything, and there's a quality paid antivirus solution and windows 11 gets blocked then very little will affect these installs.

As for security? Who cares. They're checking email and using Facebook. They're not running critical software, and as for reliability... Let me tell ya from an admin standpoint Linux is far from reliable, there's a very good reason companies pay money for support.

I love Linux, but it's my job. When I go home I just want the simplicity of Windows. Thanks to tons of useless certifications it does exactly what I tell it to do.

When family wants a new OS install I don't suggest Linux or even mention it's existence. They get a version of Windows 10 with the bloat ripped out and the inability to upgrade to Windows 11. 90% of tech support calls have been stopped.

What friends I have attempted to convert usually go back to Windows due to Nvidia driver issues but as we move forward and gaming becomes less of a hurdle maybe we'll see more converts. Especially if Windows keeps pushing their whole cloud OS thing.

RelayForReddit but they're all similar in experience I think, it just depends which app you found first.

Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it's great

It has pretty good configuration options, I've managed to make it function like RelayForReddit the app I've used forever

I used Liftoff for a bit, but Connect has been the closest to the Reddit app I've used for a decade.

You can do it via VPN. Just a quick Google search found something but the link keeps getting edited for some reason. Just google it yourself

Tip: Don't use Nord VPN. Try Mullvad if you're going this route.

I doubt Apple would allow anything like the ReVanced manager to exist in their ecosystem. I'm sure someone will do something but you'll probably need to be jailbroken (not sure if this is true, don't use Apple)

I didn't try the process myself, last I heard they were using keys extracted from the official Reddit app. Maybe they thought that was a bad idea, and went a different route. Sorry, was just going by what I heard previously

Both Sync & RiF have patches available from the ReVanced team, they've taken the API keys from the official Reddit app and you can then inject them into Sync/RiF using:

One of the new Android apps, Jerboa & Liftoff are open source available on F-Droid. I'm using Connect for Lemmy available on the playstore and Boost will be available soon as well as a myriad of other apps

I'm in the same boat, but thought I'd let people know just in case. My app of choice RelayForReddit is switching to a subscription model but 70% of my Reddit use was NSFW subs so not really worth it for me
