    I really like it. Was impressed how good it works, as I only have a Community version, not an official build. Especially that they show you how many trackers the apps have, never thought there would be so many.

    Never had any major issues since using it nearly a year.

    Only thing I do not like so much is their App Lounge, as updates there come a bit later, so mostly I use Aurora Store instead.

    Depends where you from, for me all banking apps work. Here is a list of working banking apps: https://community.e.foundation/t/list-banking-apps-on-e-os/33091

    What is not working is in App purchases, as I do not use a Google Account.

    Hope this helps a bit, if you have more questions you send me a message.

    I managed to delete most of it through the course of last year.

    Windows --> Linux Mint Office --> LibreOffice WhatsApp --> Signal Android --> e/Os Gmail --> Posteo & Tutamail Reddit --> Lemmy Maps --> Comaps & Here Microsoft Authenticator --> Aegis Shazam --> Audile

    In general I found lots of Open source Apps on F- Droid

    I permanently deleted Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Netflix. I looked into alternatives but nothing really good. To be honest I do not miss them, as mainly all are just bloated with Ads.

    Spotify is still on the list, but as I have 5 other people in my account I could not yet switch from it.

    Thanks for sharing, really insightful.

    In my personal opinion after being also responsible in AI for our company, I do not see how it will be profitable for them.

    For example Microsoft Copilot license, costs 30$/month, but a lot of things I can do with it a free Chatbot can do too.

    It definitely has it strengths and use cases and I am sure it will not go away. But it is not the way the market it as a full AI, it just generates answers with the highest probability. I cannot see it developing from there to the real AI.

    I think this year will be really interesting to watch all the AI companies, especially Oracle as they have to refinance a lot. If one falls it will send them into to a spiral, the big companies will be fine, but I am sure they will cut their funding of OpenAI.

    But who knows could be the other way around and OpenAI finds anything new to make them more profitable.
