What do you all use? And can you use your phone as a daily driver? (lemmings.world)

I'm using Sailfish OS and due to the Android compatibility layer I can use it as my daily driver (with only occasional needs for my spare Android phone), but I was wondering if there's something better in that regard?

using pmOS edge + sxmo on a pinephone. daily-driving for 2y+. it's a bit of work, maybe an average of 10-15min/day... but 1/ it's less that the amount of free labour most people do on their mobile device, per day, for Google, Meta, Twitter, etc. 2/ it's pleasant work 3/ it's for myself, and can help others too... I would recommend if you're not afraid of a bit of sysadmin
