You shouldn’t feel shame, the reasons Manjaro haters give are moronic. There is that one site they love to parrot and every reason on it is stupid… when you ask them about it directly, they don’t even understand half the reasons. Manjaro is awesome! It was the first distro that got me to stick with Linux and uninstall Windows. And this after previously trying it multiple times, as far back as Mandrake Linux. Manjaro converted me.

MXLinux on one if my laptops. Manjaro in my desktop and other laptop. OMV on two of my servers. Dietpi on the 3rd server.
You obviously didn’t understand this as you were talking about carrier locks and not boot loader locks.
That does not mean you will be able to unlock the boot loader. Unlocked carrier doesn’t mean unlockecable boot loader. A lot of manufactures don’t give you access to unlock it. US variants of Samsung phones are one example.
And on many phones, even if you can unlock the boot loader, there is a big chance that you will not have support by any major roms. There are only a handful of phone manufacturers that have easily unlockable boot loaders and are well supported by roms. Google, OnePlus, Motorola, and Huawei are the major ones that have good support because they make the boot loader unlocking easy.
I have a Pixel and LineageOS is the best by far. Freedom to root, which I absolutely want… I want full control over my devices. I’m extremely picky about how every little thing runs and works in my phone and I can only get it with root. You can’t get root with GraphenOS without a huge pain in the ass with updates.
It’s hilarious people install GrapheneOS and think they are better off because Google services are installed as user apps instead of system. You lose as soon as you install them either way. They are getting the data they are after no matter if it’s installed as a user app or system app.
But anyway, I’ve been running LineagOS since it used to be Cynogenmod over 10 years ago. It’s the most established and reliable while remaining open to customization by far.
Ligma balls who?
