They both suck. I wish my phone was like a PC and I could install whatever OS I wanted.

Now we live in a day where if you deviate from the manufactures installed OS you get no hardware or warranty support.

Imagine Dell refusing warranty if you installed Linux on a server.

I lean slightly to Android, but an not happy with Google's bullshit tricks with their phones, not the bloat and bullshit on a Samsung phone.

I'll be looking for an alternative soon... But there isn't much it there if you want an affordable near flagship.

If you install Linux on an OEM PC, you will be denied service until you put Windows back on. Mentioning a server isn't a fair comparison.

the trick is to buy the smallest disk variant possible, put the original one into a drawer, then just do backups and you'll be good
