There is a difference here. First, I essentially never have glitches with GOS. I have had fairly regular glitches with basically every Linux distro I’ve used. Secondly, with Linux if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can actually be a fairly serious security downgrade (and therefore also privacy downgrade) from other OSes. GOS is incredibly easy to use, and it’s hard to use it in any way that leaves you in a worse position than stock Android.
