From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been waiting yeeears for a Linux phone. Can't wait until the day finally comes. Tried Ubuntu touch out on an old nexus 4, but it was slow due to old hardware, and I didn't like the fact you couldn't just run Linux apps, they had to be special built for Ubuntu touch (unless you did a container and vnc kind of thing). I've been eyeing postmarketOS but I'm a little confused if it supports VoLTE which I think is a requirement now on most USA towers.
I think once the hardware support gets there with better battery life, ability to sleep and still get calls notifications, etc, the app ecosystem shouldn't be a problem with waydroid as a backup
