My alternative is to use smartphone only in exceptional use cases, as banking apps or emergency calls.

For calls use simplest phone available. Actual phone calls are the best user experience. Emotionally fair and transparent. You don't have to write thousand emojis to express emotion. You don't wait someone to respond or ignore. Things are direct and effective.

On the app side of things. There is no app that I need and I don't have on my laptop. 4G LTE Mifi with VPN. Intel core 2 duo / PureOS (removed ME). I am fan of big and powerful desktops and multi-monitor setups. Recently I discovered my dream desktop computer: https://shorturl.at/apqP3 https://shorturl.at/ceB06 If I want a photo, I have a small camera. If I know I will shoot, I grab my Leica.

It is all about the information diet. I want my mind to be clear and my perceptions sharp.

Smartphone UX and small screens in general are not the best way to consume information. iPad was cool middle ground solution, but I cannot trust Apple or any closed source software anymore.
