I have a samsung galaxy a15 that has some files on it i'd want to transfer, and want to get a Linux Mobile distro since new laws in some states that android complies with just violate privacy too much- I don't want to tell weather app my age. Which distro is best? 3 criteria in order of preference.
1. How good/compatible is it (for my a15)? How well will it run, and how secure is it?
2. How easy is it to install? i don't care about this one too much, willing to spend max maybe 3 hours installing but no more- if two distros are basically the same but one is easier to install, I obviously prefer the easier one.
3. How good is the transfer of data? I would prefer not to have to redownload all my apps, files aren't so much of an issue since I have file transfers available. This is lowest priority though.
Thank you.
 


Linux for mobiles is still somewhat in its infancy please see the following links, I am not a mobile phone user myself so no comments or recommendations intended.
