Gentoo - patience.
But seriously. With the USE’ flags, compiler options, you can understand software more from a developer’s point of view. You can try to optimize software for your hardware. Fully explore the configure’ options. With a binary package you have no control.

I once had Nexus 5 (by LG [rip!]) - I was disappointed, poor quality.
Nowadays, you should have control of a baseband firmware too!
So, looks like the Pixels are the best option.
Now, Walter de Heer at Georgia Tech in Atlanta and his colleagues have created graphene with a bandgap and even demonstrated a working transistor, an on/off switch that either prevents or allows current to flow through it.
