Ubuntu cinnamon user for the last year and a half love it. As for phones I have an s22 but I'm tired of all the bullshit bloatware that comes on it. Like I cannot fully uninstall Facebook on this thing without knowledge of how to use adb. And if uninstall something samsung deems critical, it could break half the features on the phone.
Do pixels have bs apps on the system partition?
They have some Google apps that you can't remove but there is no true bloatware.
Plus if you are more privacy oriented you can install some custom ROMs with literally no bloatware or overhead.
Can you install roms on any variant of pixels? I know usa phones are sometimes a pain in the ass with locked bootloaders
Not to mention VPN based ad blockers (Rethink DNS ad blocker is foss)
I am using adguard, but yes, if you are a more advanced user I would say Android is the way to go
