Curious, can you name an OS that does a better job compared to android 10? (And maybe a TLDR comparison?)

Any operating system that plans to stop supporting the hardware on devices worth hundreds of dollars (sometimes more) after a mere two to three years is deplorable in my book. I really dislike the iOS experience and its lack of customization, and I find the disposable upgrade cycle of Android phones incredibly wasteful.

Meanwhile, I'm happily running Fedora on a 2011 MBP with the latest security updates. I can't wait until Linux phones reach the level of support and security of laptops and desktops.

All recent versions of iOS for both points.

An extremist version of the first point appears in Qubes, but Qubes doesn't really count as anything other than a research distribution.

TL;DRs aren't really helpful for this, but all three are pretty well documented.
