Appreciate the detailed response! I’ll have to look into KDE Connect, never heard of it. I mentioned this in another comment, but I just installed Nobara last night. I may end up sticking with the iOS/Linux combo for a bit depending on how things go. The only real problem I have is that I game on PC, so Linux and MacOS are both sort of poor choices for that. At least they (especially Linux) are getting better, though.
Wow, I wasn’t aware of the Google stuff. Can’t say it’s terribly surprising though. Have you used any of the Proton suite? I’ve been considering switching to them from Gmail and OneDrive.
