So google play services on android along with Google store are installed in the root system the can basicly do whatever the want permission wise play services is always running in the background and is a huge battery drain by not having it installed at all you are gaining more battery life.

That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I'll call that a win.

It was windows 7 but my install got screwed up Some how not sure how a freind gave me a Ubuntu USB and I didn't want you try it I wanted to reinstall windows but didn't have another windows computer at the time or acces to one. And I installed Ubuntu 8.Something and back then making a Windows USB wasnt easy like it is now on Linux and never got it working so I just embraced Linux glad I did prepared me for my Dev ops career.

100% agree been using Linux for 15 years and will never stop plus once you learn everything there is to know about how Linux works if something breaks odds are you can fix it yourself or report it with logs faster if you contribute your self as well.

I would not say all some of us run Graphene OS with Google Play Services stripped from Android.

Just waiting for Asahi Linux to get microphone working and I can finally use Fedora on my M2 Air all my other computers run Linux. Dropped Windows over 15 years ago it was bad then and it just keeps getting worse every update.
