I do use linux mint for basic stuff, bit I am a complete noob and can’t figure out how to get Altstore on it, not that it matters because it hasn’t been updated in 2 years for Linux
Bro, if you want to raise adoption you gotta drop the “IAmVerySmart” tone. Be kind with people, encourage them to learn. There was a time you didn’t know this either.
Instead of saying “haha you use apple” why not “Oh okay great, so if you used X on Apple you’ll probably find Y on Linux to be very similar”
That’s the annoying attitude I’ve hated while being in the tech world. I was there back in the days of win98 vs the macintosh, and fanboys were just as annoying back then as they are now - and Linux users have always been the worst of both groups.
The world has nuance. We like Linux. There are fans of Windows and there are fans of Apple. We can show others how we like to use our computers without also demeaning them for their preferences. Above all else, we should admit that no one is stupid for using one OS over the other. I use linux for home, most of my career developing has been on Windows, and I currently develop for work on Mac. They all have their own usages.
If OP is using an iPhone then Linux is probably not right for them. Just have to accept that you don’t control your own devices when you’re using those platforms.
Without intending to circlejerk, the only linux updates that I have encountered that required a reboot were kernel updates, and they don’t force a reboot, they just don’t apply until you do. And when you do update the kernel, the update is downloaded and set up without interrupting anything. You can just power off when you’re done, and next time you power on, it’s already updated. None of those “Please wait 5-10 minutes, and don’t power off your PC” messages.
Should have installed Linux instead

Its better to use a Hackintosh. I do for Sideloadly
I googled about it and I think I have found another thing to waste my day on! Can you dual-boot hackintosh with Linux mint?
Hell yes you can! Even triple boot with multiple distros or Wheendoes.
You’re using apple products? There’s your problem.
The software you’re talking about doesn’t even support Linux.

If there’s anything Linux users are most known for on the internet it’s their holier than thou attitude towards windows users.

Thanks for letting me vent that.

Great, then you didn’t have to say “Should have installed linux instead” because you admit that it may not be the right solution for everyone.
Uh huh and I posted that before op said he was using an iPhone smartypants
And there’s your lesson about assuming things about people.
You do not need to update Linux?

Need to? yes. Have to? No
More like “it’s your choice”.
And if that choice was left to the average user, we would have computers that didn’t have security updates for years.
Well you are not forced, much better when trying to manage time or data
and you can use the pc while it updates
