I absolutely can compare these things. I don't even have to move any goalposts.

- shared buffers between phones being flaky: Can't fix. Acceptance-only.

- using face time on PC to answer calls from iphone being glitchy: Can't fix. Acceptance-only.

- my browser crashing when I try to screenshare, repeatedly, on linux: Can fix. I don't have to accept this.

1. and 2. are never even an options on linux - there's probably some way but the effort/payoff is basically a nogo. On apple I get those by default just by using the same apple id on the devices. It's not a principled comparison but a practical one between using these systems.

Again if you're coming from MacOS and expect Linux to be better at "just works" you're in for a bad surprise.

Right. That's why you're complaining about how they don't work.

Anyway, I never suggested that Linux is better at "just works."

Instead, I suggested that -all- of them have issues and further posited that, on Linux, those issues are actionable.

I am disinclined to defend a position that I do not hold.
