You trust Canonical, android users trust Google.

Binary blobs are an unfortunate reality and no amount of trust in a company or entity can really solve this.

For the record, Debian and Arch doesn't work very well on non standard hardware. I use arch on my desktop but gave up on using it productively on a new HP laptop.

Heh, and you could argue that laptops are standard these days. More laptops are sold than desktops, and HP is definitely a mainstream brand.

I understand your usage of the word, I'm just pointing out that if the mainstream ain't "standard" anymore... it kind of sets the standard in practice.
