I can see why you would recommend it. For me though, it's too close to the Windows UX. I try and make people break away from what they know in order to have the cleanest transition.
What kind of issues did you run into if you don't mind me asking? I jumped ship from Ubuntu just when they started with the snap nonsense, so things I found egregious, like them dropping Unity, aren't really valid in the grand scheme of things.
I think the finance model for phones kinda makes them such an easy purchase in a way in which you can't do on PC.
Ubuntu is a great gateway distro. When I dumped Windows back in the Windows 10 days, Ubuntu made it an easy transition, time elapsed and there were things that didn't work right that I found frustrating. I eventually ended up trying out Fedora and the rest was history. I'm glad you found a good fit for you.
What did you get last year?
To be fair, I've only ever seen negative opinions about the Tensor chips and the majority of it stems from it being an Exynos derivative.
What phone are you currently using? Do you find there's anything you can't do at such a price point?
Other than the battery life, the Pixels are great long term phone investments.
Mr Blott was suggesting that the review is ultimately just an advertisement. I disagree with it, but each to their own.
Samsung have for the large part, done really well with their phones in recent years. I'm glad people are getting more and more usage out of them.
The fact that you report bugs you find makes you nothing short of a legend.
