Also: iOS, android-OS.
Why?
iOS is crap and Android-OS is becoming more suffocated by Google as time goes by.

Worth mentioning alternatives:
- http://postmarketos.org – Linux distribution for phones and other mobile devices (based on Alpine Linux)
- https://ubuntu-touch.io – Ubuntu Touch for phones and tablets an alternative to Android and iOS
