I wouldn't say that their configuration is any easier. Perhaps even harder, as the configuration options are more limited, and far less information is available for you to read about them. They're support of networking file systems is peculiar. They don't seem to support individual ownership of files very well, it seems to be geared towards everyone can do everything to anything, *perhaps* with some confinement controls in between. On that point, I feel that configuring a normal computer to work in a predictable way is better, and you have far more control over your computer's behaviour. And the various apps that let you back up to *your* *cloud* always seem to go out through the internet, and back in again, never just routing your backups directly through your LAN when you're home. Android does the same thing as you've found with Mac phones: It chews through your data allowance like crazy, your phone's and your home internet's. Mine was an all-or-nothing backup option, too. It'd back up all your photos and videos, you couldn't narrow it down to just some of them, and if it had any communication problems, it'd just start over again and again, dumping everything into one huge folder in an uncoordinated mess. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 15:46:38 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
