It depends on the user. If you’ll install GNU/Linux distribution as a nooby, choose some easy distribution - most probably it will install a lot of bloatware, and possibly could be unstable… But if you’ll go into details and learn the basic you could install some better distro, which you will install manually, and you will install all you need, no bloat. If you will, here are the perks:

• Stability (it also depends on your hardware… NVIDIA for example is pretty bad, but Intel or AMD is great. Must be better stability than on Windows, if you’ll not fk up)
• Performance (since you installed everything by yourself, and you will have no bloat, telemetry and etc. you will run the OS with great performance)
• Security (vulns on big distros are getting fixed fastly, and there are less vulns than on Windows, also less viruses you could get on a desktop)
• Customizability (you could change anything you want, desktop environment, sometimes init system, pretty much anything but it depends on a distro and your skills)

Me, as a… I would say half a professional GNU/Linux user, would recommend Void Linux for half-experienced or experienced user, because I like the runit init system and the stability, even though it’s rolling model.

But for a newbie… I don’t know. All of them I tried - they had problems. So it’s better to either endure, either start from a not-so-hard distro like Void Linux.

EDIT: oh yeah… I read a lot of comments here and I would also add that the system is free, open-source (with Linux-libre), and it’s also not so bad at gaming since Steam made Proton, a fork of Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator). I also game sometimes and I use Lutris… Don’t know if there any other cooler alternative heh.

OMG😭😭😭

As the user with 16GB phone… UserLAnd saved me😅 Sad it didn’t work out for you on the first time, gl if you’ll try again!

I know, I know. But this became kind of bloated

Well… Anyway! UserLAnd has kind of more freedom.

Well if we’ll think of it like that any GNU/Linux distro can have extra package manager! But most of the times it’s just unstable workaround.

Hello!! The difference between UserLAnd and Termux is that UserLAnd does not force you to use only one distro (ex. Package Manager and etc.) like Termux - Termux uses apt with their own Repo’s that might not have new package versions. Using UserLAnd, you could install any distro on your phone! Kind of like it… It feels right how it should be😇

Hello!! I feel like Termux is kind of bloated and it also uses it’s own repo, and only apt package manager. Using UserLAnd, you will be able to install any distro, whichever you want, with any config.

Great one, love it! But I would recommend UserLAnd instead of Termux🥰
