Just fyi: easy up-/download options via USB have been degenerated on Linux as well. MTP (which Google pushed to replace mass storage device mode) is hit-and-miss on Ubuntu; for example, it doesn't work with S8 and newer at all. MicroSD doesn't work with newer/larger cards, Bluetooth is a clusterfuck ... in many ways, the last decade has been a desaster for interfaces people care about.
