    There being zero ecosystem for Linux phones, unlike the desktop.

    You’d need an Android runtime layer.

      How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

      Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

      It’s really not that much

        Banking/financial apps are the biggest sticking point that I keep hearing about. They won’t run on a non-Google Android, let alone an AOSP container in Linux.
