Which Linux mobile OS would you recommend for a Google Pixel 2 XL? - eviltoast

I have an old Google Pixel 2 XL, and would like to get started with Linux on mobile. What Linux OS would you recommend, and why?

    I used Manjaro and Plasma mobile on my Pinephone and PC. I still used KDE but will not use Manjaro again. I’ve had PC and phone each fail due to update needing OS reinstall.

    I heard Postmarket, Debian and arch good on phones. Phosh is recommended most as the shell.

      Thanks for the useful information! I will keep away from Manjaro on mobile, as on PC as I’m not into rolling distros. As for KDE, Postmarket, Debian, Arch and Phosh I will most definitely check them out. Thanks for narrowing down the possibilities.

        I understand not wanting rolling distros. I took that position before, but needed OpenSuse Tumbleweed (Leap didn’t work with my hardware as needed newer kernel), and I’ve used for over a year without an issue. It’s stunning.
