Worth an upvote for the Asterix reference alone. For me it's mostly the smartphone which is difficult to unlock. I use Ubuntu on my laptop, run my own web/mail/irc/etc servers, flashed all routers with OpenWRT... and it all made my experience better but Android with a Google Apps account is hard to beat. Say what you will about tracking and spying but it delivers. Using FLOSS tools I can compete with Microsoft or TP-Link, not Google though.
