How do I finally make peace with technology?
/g/, how the hell do you do it so you have the least amount of arguments with your technology possible? how do you make it waste the least of your time? How do you make it spy on you _less_ (less being the keyword, as you can never truely eliminate a man in the middle either for what you're doing to function or for other means)
I'm thinking of switching a Linux dualboot, but then i'd be constantly re-booting for certain applications, driver issues, certain programs being a huge pain to install (Waterfox, AMD Drivers).
F-Droid is a no go on my Android, and I'm not going to buy an iPhone as it's arguably the worst part of the Apple ecosystem. F-Droid just has none of the apps I use, simple as that. Do I have to hard-lock down all the privacy breaching settings as much as possible (such as location history?)
Do I buy music from iTunes instead despite the premium for "muh privacy"?
I'm already working on having less websites to visit and aimlessly trawl, that's a big mess.
In the end, coming here may have been a mistake. All I know about now is how my OS is literally keylogging every button I press, and having random things break on me at inopportune times.
Linux has no applications and drivers, Windows is a pajeet heap and you can't really run one iDevice without having _all_ iDevices to complete the ecosystem. How do you win? and fuck off with that get a thinkpad and install gentoo shit, that's NEET territory.

Use windows 7 with no updates if you care so much about windows software. You'd be more vulnerable to viruses but oh well. Don't forget to use a decent browser and avoid popular shit like chrome. Firefox used to be a good alternative but is now compromised. Look for a fork. Use startpage for as your search engine. Also keep in mind the only true way of having 100% is not going online at all. If you have a phone at all just throw it in the trash. If you absolutely need a phone get a dummy one. Just pirate music already who gives a fuck. All in all i'd really recommend you consider using linux. Either get used to linux software or if you have a good enough pc you could run a virtual machine inside linux. Best of luck to you OP.

Also driver support for AMD is a lot better now. You should give it a try.

>How do you win?
I decided to do all the shit that you dismiss, like using F-Droid and removing Google and proprietary apps from my phone, switch to Linux and deal with having to learn new applications, etc.
You can't have privacy and time saving. They're contradictory. The whole value proposition from Google, MS, etc is "we'll make things as convenient as possible for you, as long as you spend lots of money on products we want you to, and lets us track literally your every move." You can either accept that, essentially in its entirety, or reject it in its entirety. If you try to split the difference you wind up with the worst of both worlds - you give up convenience but gain no meaningful privacy. And since you still have one foot in the tech companies' """ecosystems""", you'll still be getting treated like a human ATM and pushed to buy more of their shit to go back to the convenience end. And you'll still have that nagging doubt in the back of your head about the data they're collecting and saving forever about you, since you aren't really stopping them unless you go full tinfoil.
So you get to pick a lane, privacy or convenience. I picked privacy. If you want that, you get to buckle down and do all the shit you're complaining about in your post. If you want to choose convenience, then shut up about it and enjoy your botnet.
