    • I can build my own ROM and add any tweaks I want to the source
    • Full filesystem access, not the circus act iOS is running with their “file management”
    • I can run any browser I want, download any file I want
    • I can sideload any app I want, and install open source apps from F-Droid
    • I can use projects like ReVanced to install modified apps effortlessly, and don’t have to go through the AltStore/Apple Developer BS to install simple things like uYou
    • I can entirely replace my home screen with a different launcher app if I wanted to

      I can sideload any app I want, and install open source apps from F-Droid

      Going to shoutout Jerboa for Lemmy, it’s working really well surprisngly even though it’s in a very early stage of development.

      I can use projects like ReVanced to install modified apps effortlessly, and don’t have to go through the AltStore/Apple Developer BS to install simple things like uYou

      I don’t know how Apple plans to handle the EU law for sideloading, but currently you can only sideload an app for 7 days with free software like AltStore, it’s really not fun lol.

      I can entirely replace my home screen with a different launcher app if I wanted to

      Launchers are such a game changer, I hope they continue to thrive!
