Despite having a long history with pc's, I've never really used smartphones.

I just got my first Android phone so I could emulate games on a train.
The experience has been mostly horrible, every app being riddled with ads. I tried a few PS2 emulators and after that my web browser has been opening casino sites and shit even on sites that shouldn't do that.
Like, I click an archive.org link and it takes me to a fuckin casino. My web browser is DuckDuckGo.
Being new to Android I have no idea how to scan and fix malware issues. I'd rather not reset to manufacturer settings.

So what? Next you'll spend days uninstalling those only to find you still have malware/adware installed, and then have to reset. But go ahead and install removal tools that probably don't work and are often malware/adware as well lol
You basically have a virgin phone with a couple garbage emulators on it... Reset it.

How can phones even get malware? I thought they were like Linux systems.

Linux is not some magic hacker proof operating system. Any system has vulnerabilities. Linux tends to be targeted less often because nobody uses it.

I should probably also add two things.
>The vast majority of smartphone users never run unsigned code. There is absolutely malware on the Google Play Store, but you have to dig to find it, and apps that obviously misbehave tend to get delisted. I would bet dollars to donuts that OP was sideloading APKs for "free emulator!!11"
>the malware actually comes preinstalled, it is called google play services lel

Every system can be haxxored, there just aint that many haxx for Linux home pc cause it'd be relatively useless compared to market share and its users are in most cases more experienced than the average Windows or Apple user
Look into Android however and u see a lot of inexperienced users like OP (sorry OP) and a good market share

One can be experienced with pc's and Linux but inexperience with smartphone and Android

I hate how zoom-zooms think dopamine slab usage is now part of essential ICT skills
Fuck you. Smartphones shouldn't exist. It's just a device for Them to monitor you and get you addicted to dopamine on Tiktok. You cant do anything productive on phones, all you can do is press likes on videos.
Who cares how smartphone systems work.

I use 2 different Android devices at work to do real work. It's an efficient computer, and can do anything a computer can, while not needed to carry a fucking computer because I'm working

I thought Linux is mostly used in professional settings, and very little of its userbase are regular everyday people. And I thought most targets of hacking are major corporations and governments. Would it not follow that Linux does get targeted often?
