If truly wish that were the way forward.
As it stands, name a good one that works with current apps and isn't a battery hog. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This seems to be the closest

Thanks. It looks like a start, an enthusiast's phone.
For now. Here is a review.
It clearly needs development. But it has the potential for greatness. Banking apps really need to work, for example (as much as I hate banks relying on phone 2FA or some banks only having an app apart from a feeble website).
Amost all banking apps are moving towards using the secure android layer which means they will never work on something that can't fully emulate that. Even in things like grapheneos with gapps installed in a profile they sometimes don't work. If banking apps are what you are waiting for that is already very hard and will only become less likely to work over time.
Pretty much everyone, or at least many people, will need this eventually (although it is likely shortsighted of banks to lock into a system provided by one or two companies HQ'd in the same country).
So I hope a solution will be found. But this is just one of the issues why a Linux phone isn't quite there yet. At least not for me. Wish it were.
