I know it's not really ready for it yet, but I guess I'm gonna be looking into a Linux phone before I thought I would.

My main problem with linux phones is that many apps only exist only for android or ios.

Sure some apps are basically a website that you can acess by web browser but many apps cant be replaced able (banking, tickets, public transport, games)

Waydroid works really well to run Android apps on mobile Linux, even for games. Doesn't help for banking apps though as they'll usually lock you out due to not passing Google safety checks.

Isn't Waydroid shady?
