Hey, sorry for the late reply. Just figuring out how to use Lemmy.
Anyway, regarding your question, there isn't really anything particular I like about ColorOS. I just think that it's really neutral, the default icon packs are really nice (Samsung can learn a thing or two). I like the dock when you swipe down on the home screen, where you can see everything at a glance. It's just the little things, nothing particular like I said. Just the whole look and feel is very pleasant.
You are actually talking to yourself
What the fuck bidets are not common in the West? Scared that it will spray poop bits in vagina??? What's going on over there.
I thought the same as you too when I was 23. I live in Singapore that has very accessible cheap public transport. But I still got a driving license and I'm so glad I did. Two words: ROAD TRIPS.
Some places and things are impossible with public transport. Driving from Calgary to Victoria Island in Canada, driving from Melbourne to Sydney. Stopping by to get some food. Check out nice mountains, coasts. It's not so much about the car itself, but the life skill to get in a car and your AOE (to borrow a gaming term) extends to several kilometres with unparalleled flexibility, except for big crowded, car-less cities.
It is being able to get in a car with a group of friends and you're golden to have a fun time out. It's about an emergency and you have the skill with you. It's about another option if where you live has car sharing services and you need to pick up something from IKEA. Cars are one of the most perfected piece of technology humans have came up with, almost to the point that it is an extension of us now.
I'm using an Oppo Reno. The first one, with the motorised front camera, for four years now. I'm thinking of upgrading now to the Find X6. I've been using oppo close to a decade now and I have to say, they earned themselves a lifelong user if they keep this up. I started with the R7plus, then the R9s, then the Reno. All beasts for their time and price.
I had handled the Samsung S9+ and iPhone 14 from my partner. Good lord I hated them. The photos they took of people were horrendous and the software is just unpleasant. After using my phone throughout the years, she was a complete Oppo convert without much convincing. Tbh I quite like ColorOS.
