Getting started on Fuchsia
So then, there's Dahlia OS. This would seem to be exactly what I'm after, essentially a shell to make Fuchsia "livable", maybe not daily driver standard (of course not, this is a research OS) but definitely able to perform the tasks of quotidian life. But everything that's available from the main site is actually built on a Linux core (the implication being that they'll move it over to Zircon/Fuchsia once Fuchsia is "done"). I did find this, though. Seems to be a build of Fuchsia Workstation built for running on bare metal ARM?

For everyday use, it seems like distros don't vary much
Yeah Distros in the end are all pretty much the same things, yet there all a couple of interesting projects which are experimenting something new. For instance Fedora Silverblue, or Dahlia OS

Fuchsia IDL Overview
It's not really practical if you need more than just a browser and command line right now to run a pure Fuchsia system. But there's dahliaOS which is a sort of hybrid Fuchsia/Linux that I haven't used but is supposed to be pretty practical.

Apple Introduces M4 Chip
>Google operates in China albeit via their HK domain.
The Chinese government has access to the iCloud account of every Chinese Apple user.
>They also had project DragonFly if you remember.
Which never materialized.
>The lesser of two evils is that one company doesn’t try to actively profile me (in order for their ads business to be better) with every piece of data it can find and forces me to share all possible data with them.
Apple does targeted and non targeted advertising as well. Additionally, your carrier has likely sold all of the data they have on you. Apple was also sued for selling user data to ad networks. Odd for a Privacy First company to engage in things like that.
>Google is famously known to kill apps that are good and used by customers: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Google has been around for 26 years I believe. According to that link 60 apps were killed in that timeframe. According to your statement that Google kills an app a month that would leave you 252 apps short. Furthermore, the numbers would indicate that Google has killed 2.3 apps per year or .192 apps per month.
>As for the subpar apps: there is a massive difference between the network traffic when on the Home Screen between iOS and Android.
Not sure how that has anything to do with app quality, but if network traffic is your concern there's probably a lot more an Android user can do than an iOS user tp control or eliminate the traffic.

How I migrated from Firebase to Supabase
I was already starting to feel a little cornered in the whole Google ecosystem and a bit limited with stuff like backups, vendor lock in, etc. (and you always have the obvious hanging over your head) and ultimately, I think I just find the mental model of a SQL database more intuitive compared to a NoSQL database. So I thought to myself; "the longer I leave it, the harder it'll be to make the switch".

Google's Decision to Effectively Kill-off Small Sites
And this isn't even the first time I've been burned by Google's decisions. If you're familiar at all with the Google Graveyard, you'll know that Google has a long history of killing off products and services that people have come to rely on. This has happened to me a number of times, in both a personal and professional capacity, and frankly it's getting old.

Calls grow for Sundar Pichai to step down from Google CEO position
Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com
They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the early half of the Pixel Era, they seemingly haven't learnt to stick to something and iterate on it well.
And the fact that over 50% of their revenues come from search and by extension, advertising.
The fact' that til this day, they still haven't evolved from the "throwing shit at the wall then at the fan" strat which explains how they have fumbled so much so quickly.
