Opinions on best Linux phones available today
I’m looking for opinions from people about their personal preferences on the best Linux phones available today — both software and the phone hardware to accompany it.
My leading contenders right now are postmarketos running on a used Pixel or sailfishos running on jolla or Sony Xperia.
My priorities:
- commitment to FOSS, no lock-in
- Premium-tier phone hardware (camera, screen, battery)
- performant Android emulation or performant web app integration
- ongoing organization or community support
- few/no dependencies on American companies or products
Subjective and biased opinions are welcome; I’m really trying to get a feel of how the earliest adopters are thinking.
are you planning to daily drive Linux mobile?
If possible yes, or if not possible I’m interested in seeing what is closest to providing an experience like that.
I’ve been daily driving desktop Linux for the last 5y and off and on for 25y plus a lot of professional sysadmin experience so I’m pretty familiar with fiddling and such.
So I don’t need a turnkey experience but I do want a pleasant and reliable experience once it’s all setup.
the device list is here, I think most of them in the community list are pretty well supported.

the device i use is in the testing section, but it works to an extent.
if you have old android phones around you should check if they're at all supported by pmos
