Samsung’s phones are pretty superior but the software is pretty bloated. And i don’t think anyone should trust Nothing anymore because of all the controversies going around.

Google pixels on the other hand has a good bloat free OS. Also i think those 911 call failures and overheating issues that you mentioned might get fixed via a new update. I think you should go with the Pixel 10 Pro, You could also consider installing GrapheneOS on that bad boy.

Also have to mention mint looks like shit compared to other distros

Well GNOME can be recommended for new coming macOS users tho

You can find those kind of sticker packs on ebay and other shopping sites.(Goes for around 2 - 10 US bucks) You can also custom print your own ones (Usually hella ton cheaper)

Arch users should switch to Ubuntu and Ubuntu users should switch to Arch, Problem Solved
