Linux phones work, but they depend on many Google Android apps to be daily usable by normal people.

    Honestly, at this point we just need alternatives to some of these Google apps in general.

    The google apps themselves are largely replaceable, but stuff like banking and communication (WhatsApp, Outlook) is where things tend to get problematic. You can run Android apps in Linux, but it might not be the most convenient thing to keep running at all times, and many banking apps will fail as they recognize the device as "insecure".
