Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations (link to 2025 Priorities -> Focus on Reliabilty, Audi, Camera, etc) (postmarketos.org)

A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

I can't wait for Linux phones to be stable enough for a daily driver.

The FuriPhone, which runs the FuriOS Linux distribution (based on Debian), has a polished enough user experience that it can be used as a daily driver by many people.

I somehow only recently saw this (few weeks ago) but man it looks awesome. I'm curious how well the android layer works as I haven't used waydroid in a long time.

It's not cheap enough to take a lark on is my only qualm.

Here's a demonstration of Waydroid on FuriOS and the accompanying blog post from 6 months ago. I'm obviously not a fan of X (Twitter), but the video shows that the app works in the Android container.

Yes, I also hope to see the price go down.
