Depends on what you're looking for...and what you mean by "Android." As in solely AOSP? Or any of the derivatives to include OEM ones? If done right, Android can be more secure than desktop OS, so it actually might be the best distro, depending on what you're looking for.
Best (for me) is ArchLinux, it's never in the way and has the best wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org, which is also a great resource for other distros.
I think the question is made badly. For most distros it comes down to personal preference. You could make a best and worst for each category. For example beginner friendliness: best Mint worst LFS. Distros like Ubuntu with weird stuff going on can still be best for you if it otherwise covers your needs. The worst distro overall is probably some random, no longer supported distro without active repos. The overall best I find is EndeavorOS. It has a good combination of user friendliness and advanced stuff.
Best distro: the ones that are working towards declarative configs. NixOS is cool, but I'm very excited for the potential of blendOS, which doesn't require learning a whole new language because the config is written in YAML.
Worst distro: Manjaro, obviously. Just use EndeavourOS instead.
Best: depends on needs and usecases. Obviously, the majority will name the distro they use here, because if they would think another distro is better they would switch.
Worst: either Pop_OS (the most pointless, with the killer feature of "nvidia blob out of the box", saving literally one command after installation), or Fedora (RedHat + too unstable + and too much RedHat new experimental shit being tested). Sorry for those who like those distros, but that's my opinion.
I've been looking at Pop! OS recently because I want to start using Linux again but I feel like it's a standard Ubuntu-based distro with a few things preinstalled. How's that different to any other distro with GNOME UI after I install the same packages?
Generally, I'd say Linux Mint is the best distro since it's general purpose and easy-to-use.
But for gaming on bleeding-edge hardware where you need latest graphics drivers or a kernel update with better game performance, the best ones are Arch Linux and EndeavourOS.
Or maybe you've got the opposite situation, you have a really old device. The best one would be something lightweight, although I'm not aware of any Linux distros that specifically fill that requirement.
For servers, Debian is a good choice, and in my (not-at-all-experienced with servers) opinion, it's one of the best distros for a server since it is pretty stable.
And, for developers, I think the best one would be NixOS since, from what I've heard, it's great with package management and is also immutable, meaning you should have less issues with having multiple versions of packages.
as for the worst one, it's ubuntu because i hate it and canonical is the devil /s
For my use cases at workstation level, Manjaro makes it really easy to work with whatever tooling I need - but I’m comfortable on CLI and aware of the risks/benefits.
Wouldn’t suggest it to a noob, ofc, but for me it’s a good middle ground where I can get things done, and also easily work with edge cases.
Not that I can’t build whatever I need to in the deb world, but I prefer to work with instead of against a distro’s packaging.
