I honestly don't know if Apple users can be saved. They seem to belong to a cult.

A cult that is surprisingly rabid about text message colors.

Iโ€™ve only ever heard that from Americans. Iโ€™m surprised itโ€™s not a thing here in the UK seen as we love copying the worst from the yanks, but on this no one cares.

That one is an easy explanation. Many Europeans switched to alternative messaging apps like Whatsapp instead of using SMS text years ago, well before iMessage or RCS came in to make the built in messaging capability better.

Hey! I use a lot of apple stuff and Iโ€™m planning to switch to Linux Mint, Ubuntu Touch and Pinetime.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't judge so harshly. I'm assuming you didn't want or didn't know of Linux when switching to Malus? Malus is just a stepping stone to Linux? What got you into Malus in the first place?
