Every weekend we gather our best guides and posts on a specific subject. These were our best top 10s of 2015.

How-Tos and explainers may be our bread and butter at Lifehacker, but occasionally we just have to share a rant, personal story, or exposé. Here were our best features and essays in 2015.

Face it: Most of us don't know what we're doing. We're making it up as we go along, and any guidance offered by more experienced people can be precious. We'll take any help we can get. That's why, every week, we ask notable people how they work.

If you're clever enough, anything can be a tool. This year we saw a ton of clever tips and tricks than any "MacGyver wannabe" would be proud of, but only a select few stood out as the best.

iOS had a big year with iOS 9, new iPhones, and a fancy new iPad Pro. Let's take a look back on the year with some of our biggest, most popular posts about Apple's mobile operating system.

This year, Android got even sweeter. Marshmallow built on the already-awesome foundation Lollipop laid the year before, plus we got two new Nexus phones, and a bunch of improved apps. Here are our best Android posts this year.

Every week, we feature customised desktops and home screens submitted by readers that show off beautiful wallpapers and great customisation and UI tweaks. Sometimes they're fun, sometimes they're functional, and sometimes they're both, but 2015 was a great year for all of them. Here's a look at your favourite ones.

In between tips and how-tos, we also often do "explainers," where we break down complicated topics into simple language. Our goal is to help you understand how these difficult topics work, and show you what you can do with the knowledge. Here are our best from the past year.
