    Consider buying a Pixel when you wanna upgrade and flash CalyxOS on it to completely degoogle it. There is a completely foss app store for Android called F-Droid and you can even use a foss client to access Google Play without an account...

    Looks like Multisim can run via WINE Linux has come a long way the last couple of years so you should really give it another shot. Whether VM is practical or not depends on your hardware and how resource hungry the software you use it. I really think you should make a post about this 🙂 Oh and check this out.

    I use Manjaro myself but it isn't recommended as a user's first distro because it's a rolling release. I'd recommend Kubuntu because Ubuntu is very stable and well supported and KDE Plasma is just awesome!

      I had an Android phone (with a locked bootloader) as my last phone, and the lack of security updates (or any updates at all) was what pushed me to iOS. I've already used F-Droid and using custom firmware sounds pretty intriguing. I can't really change phones any time soon, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for next time.

      Thank you for your help. I'll create another post if I have any more questions.
