My user experience with Arch Linux is amazing. Rolling release distributions are perfect for desktop usage comparing to stage release one like Ubuntu, because everything is cutting edge. On Arch, I don't need to do something like adding a PPA on Ubuntu in order to get the latest version. I also don't need to use other package managers like [Flatpak](https://www.flatpak.org/) to install software neither exist in main repositories or PPAs, AUR is the game changer, I can install software from binary or source code, and I don't need to disable it when upgrade. BTW, at least for two months, my Arch Linux didn't break. -Operating systems for cellphones are hard to choose. I can flash GNU/Linux to my phone with unlocked bootloader, which basically turns my phone to an Arm-based PC, but poor driver compatibility and lack of application support make it almost unusable. And yes, I choose Google's Android finally, at least it's under a free software license. Custom ROMs based on AOSP(Android Open Source Project) are easy to find, but compatibility issues are not easy solve. The ideal choice is [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/), a privacy and security focused Android distro(?). However, it supports Pixel devices only. Because of Edward Snowden's recognition, it pretty ironic that Google helps to make one of the most secure phone. +Operating systems for cellphones are hard to choose.

Since I don't have and don't want to buy a Pixel phone, I settled on [LineageOS](https://lineageos.org/), which is not privacy focused but highly customizable and with well-built community. The main downside is that I can't lock the bootloader after installation, that means if I lose my phone somebody can decrypt and access my device. That's not a huge problem for me, I don't like to carry around a brick in my pocket and most of the time my phone is sitting on my desk. |
