you'd have to lay down a solid salary to get me to use an iPhone as my daily phone

Aaaaand it would be exclusively a work phone for me. Ive been around long enough to definitely not trust apple. After all, they steal all the time.

I'd much rather have control over my software than the manufacturer of the hardware, in no small part because of the repurposing I can do (among the many other reasons).

Jup a phone, which is a computer, which can't easily run arbitrary software just shouldn't exist, and if it has to I don't want to use it.

These days you don't even need custom firmware or root to do most things (except debloat/degoogle). Which I probably should degoogle but it's a project for a later day (a day where a home server + reasonable backups are already setup)

Already have both here (and inching my way toward a petabyte - I'm ridiculous, not needed for that self host action, even of all your photos and videos. I'm at about 3TB there, and that I cludes my wife's stuff and mine, along with the DSLR.)

Well worth the effort imo
