  • Ah, then I'll put you squarely into the category of people who enjoy things never working ;)

    • (I actually appreciate you doing a Kagi search for me, btw. I've heard great things about Kagi, and it would've been great if something came up there that didn't on DDG or Google.)

      My whole digital life other than my iPhone works very well! Never better, really. Been Linux-exclusive for years after switching after the release of Windows 10.

      Just a real pity that iOS doesn't provide something as simple as a proper export feature. A kicker is that the Photos app does allow you to "Export Unmodified Original" for multiple photos or even whole albums. But you can't do this to everything in Photos (what used to be called the camera roll). There's no "select all" button to work around this.
