I switched to linux cause fuck windows. I switched to grapheneos cause fuck apple. I switched to proton cause fuck google. i dont eat meat cause i think animals ARE CUTE. i make less money than I could because I refuse to work for weapons manufacturers. Living up to my principles makes my life more inconvenient. period. thats it.
(I don't wanna be that guy, but nothing you said sounds like an inconvenience to me. I say this because using proton > google isn't an inconvenience, just a choice.. etc, I guess installing an os could be an inconvenience but not really, they make it super easy nowadays. Anyways didn't wanna poop on ur parade or put you down, but ur post might scare people into trying alternatives, when it's really not thst different from what they have now, just better)
Yea, I think each specific case requires more nuanced explanation as to what made it inconvenient, but it was more fun to keep the rhythm of "I chose x cause fuck y". I also don't want to scare anyone away from all these things - they are good things! The biggest inconvenience is probably the migration, but learning is fun!
