I'm an Android developer myself, and Samsung is universally hated among devs due to the bloatware/adware. Manjaro Linux has rolling releases, so you get updates more swiftly than with other Linux flavours. LineageOS (regular or microG variant) get weekly updates if I recall correctly. Pixel is a solid hardware choice in my book.
