    You could run Waydroid on it, which I think would let you use most of the apps you need, except maybe banking apps and the like.

    I would love to make a move, but my reason for not trying out for example postmarketOS yet, is the lack of access to several of the core phone features. From the postmarketOS wiki page, for my phone (Fairphone 4), it lacks access to camera, GPS, NFC (don’t care), audio and battery (not sure what is meant by that), and has partial support for calls (not sure what is meant by partial support).

    I just now checked the status for Ubuntu Touch however, and it seems like they have actually gotten these things working. Interesting!

      FuriOS is a newcomer and promising. I was very close to getting that but a few issues prevented me. Hopefully my next phone will be full Linux. Really, really want to ditch android. Governments also need to stop catering to the duopoly and make stuff for all platforms (or rather just secure web apps.) And force banks, etc. To do the same.
