iOS is too locked down, most Android distros are filled with Google/OEM tracking and bloat

and installing something like lineageos on a modern android is not as easy as installing linux on a pc

i’m not saying everyone has driver issues on linux - i definitely haven't. but, it's more common in general to have driver issues on linux than it is on windows. the reason the driver issues happen is because the free drivers are written by the community, and the same is true for phones, meaning certain components of certain phones do not work.

ive used Mint on a pretty old laptop and it works fantastically, I think (not sure havent used it in a while) even the keyboard backlight keys work properly! but sadly no NVIDIA GPU to test those out, its got an old AMD Radeon one and that seems to work (at least it’s detected by sensors)
