    My husband had it.

    We never bought meat to use at home anyways, so in that aspect nothing really changed.

    However it was kinda cumbersome when invited by other people, especially since we live in a backwards place where people consume meat daily. E.g. grandmas kept cooking red meat despite me trying to explain it multiple times and getting offended when he didn’t eat it.
    Oftentimes my husband would just eat a bit of it anyways and then spend the evening in the toilet throwing up, just to avoid the strange drama that telling people you can’t eat meat causes.

    That’s also how we figured out it goes away, since the doctor made it sound like it would be permanent. But eating the bit started to get less bad and then eventually stopped causing any issues. Now he can eat anything people serve again, which is saving us a lot of headache and drama.

    Also I think you have a bit of a warped view on what an os update entails for Android devices, maybe because your only comparison is the iPad.

    iPads need updates because it’s the only way they can receive bug fixes and new features. On android even system apps can be updated via the play store, and new features can be added to your device via play services without even restarting, you’ll just get a random info one day that says “your device can now do this or that”. (Unless you go without play service ofc).

    OS updates for the last few years have just been pretty forgettable stuff (like I can’t even remember one single feature they added with Android 14, I think it was just new clock fonts?)

    I don’t think any manufacturer offers more than 5 years os updates. Normally you will still get security updates afterwards but I don’t know if there is any way to see how long exactly beforehand.
    If you install lineage or some other rom it would not matter anyways what the official support is. But someone needs to take the time to port it to your device, so the more popular of a device you choose the more likely it is to get ports longer.

    Generally I’d recommend looking at what hardware of a popular device fits your needs (size, budget, pen etc) and then just looking at xda to see what roms are available and how easy the flashing process is.

    I don’t understand what you mean by saying you don’t want the software bricked in 5 years. You mean bricking while flashing a rom? Usually that’s easy to recover. I don’t think I’ve heard of many people bricking a device unrecoverably lately.
