Linux phones are not at a point where you can actually daily drive them. They even lack support for basic apps like Signal. The camera and battery on the PinePhone aren’t great either. These are concept phones, but nothing that anyone can actually use. Also, Linux distributions are much less secure than GrapheneOS or even AOSP. And good luck getting normies to use a Linux phone, it’s already hard with desktops, but impossible with phones.
Yeah I’m aware they’re still in a really early/rough state, I definitely used the term pretty loosely. From what I understand they’re capable of reliably texting, calling, light web browsing and maybe playing some audio. If you aren’t someone who frequently/extensively uses your phone, and has decent knowledge of Linux, this may be enough for you. Def not the average user though.
