Like Apple's devices, Android phones are most secure when they've been freshly rebooted. In this "Before First Unlock" (BFU) state, biometrics and location-based unlocking won't work. The only way to access the device is to use the passcode or PIN. Additionally, all the data stored on the phone is encrypted in the BFU state, making retrieval and snooping much more difficult, even for law enforcement groups that have access to advanced data recovery tools.

I just have never had a Linux system that didn't require some sort of terminal work to fix the occasional bug. A couple of updates ago Fedora left me with conflicting packages that needed the terminal to straighten out.

I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.

Hmm, well there's that. So Germany and Scandinavia ranker higher (I'm from Denmark and sometimes sit). I have to wonder how this correlates to a standard development index. It's not unusual for the US to be a cultural outlier on those.

People might sit more in your country, but I've never heard of that being particularly European.
