Sorry for the late response, the thunder app doesn’t give me notifications. 😅
It really depends on your usage.
/e/os feels more polished in general, but widgets are only available in a drawer when you swipe to the left from the home screen and there’s no app drawer, so everything needs to be on your home screen.
And the settings seems more convoluted and hidden, not quite apple like, but a bit less usable than stock android.
Iodé has more of a stock android feel, but i’ve also encountered more bugs in it in general.
Most of my gripes with /e/os could be fixed by installing a different launcher as others in the thread have mentioned. And that would make it the best imo.
As far as banking apps and such i haven’t had any major issues. Only some government apps that require chrome to log in.
So i downloaded chrome, logged in, and removed it again.
I still use google maps and it works flawlessly without login.
I don’t use any social media apps (unless you count lemmy).
Edit: also in regards to adblocking they’re on par.
I haven’t had any more ads in apps or in browser with either of them.
I use a snippet manager called keep.
It runs in the terminal, and helps remember commands. I use it for remembering commands with lots of flags and parameters that i don’t use often. But it can be used to remember any command you need.
You can also add comments to each command to remind you what it does.
I add the command i need to remember with
keep newAnd when i forget it i can run
keep listTo get a list of commands.
It can do more, but i’ve only ever used those two functions.
