Why are you amazed? People want Linux! I'd actually love to have one myself.There's the PinePhone project that actually shipped products, much to my amazement.

They have too much control and way too many tracking aspects to their platform. I also think the people on here would be better at building a cleaner OS that would be easier for the tech challenged older users.For the OP, what is the problem as you see it?

Yeah, if you are on Android, it is not that easy to get rid of Google services, especially Google Play Services. You can try removing it by rooting the phone that is using software like Kingo Root. But rooting is not easy for most users. Sometimes it works but sometimes it is not.Google also locks down your phone and doesn't let you customize it (vendors do this too). A good example is a way that you cannot uninstall Chrome.

You can learn how to root an Android phone on Youtube. You will need software like Kingo Root installed on Windows PC. Then connect the phone to the Windows PC. The process is not that complicated. However, it is risky. Rooting or modifying your phone in any way will void your manufacturer’s warranty and possibly “brick” it. I recommend that you try it on phones that you don't want to use anymore/older phones.Rooting the phone is something I have never done before so a little help in layman terms are needed.
You can just use heimdall to flash your mobile device from GNU/Linux, no need for Windows to flash your mobile phone with a custom rom.You can learn how to root an Android phone on Youtube.
