Nope! Not at all. Progress is being made and they're kinda usable but a massive pain with many bugs, major drawbacks, and little community support. They should all be assumed to be in alpha.
One day though. I'm sure of it
The best we have right now are android forks like graphene or e/os. These are still very good options though I'll be clear. No AI bullshit, fully de-googled (or mostly, if you need google services. Though grapheneOS can sandbox them,) and completely usable
Plenty of support from the community

Oh yeah, postmarket slipped my mind there. I had thought that point would be contentious too. Thanks for bringing that up but I still stand by what I said.
On postmarket the matrix was fairly active and helpful last I checked, but the lemmy is rarely used weeks between posts, not alot of chatter on mastadon, no real longstanding forums around it, and when searching for issies I've had not much if anything comes up at times. The wiki is nice though.
I'd argue community support to be lacking when compared to custom roms, desktop linux, or mainstream linux and by quite alot.
Postmarket is definitly the best of the linux phone OS's when it comes to that. Likely all around the best too. It's still very much lacking though
