"If you get used to the gestures it should be okay-ish to use as a phone"

This guy is too humble haha, Ubuntu Touch is a blast to use.

Unfortunately I like the interface of gnome-mobile better, and the app ecosystem of postmarketOS better with flatpak support, but Ubuntu Touch has better hardware support than postmarketOS due to using the android vendor kernel, vs mainline.

Yeah, I never got to test postmarketOS because I don't have a supported device, so I don't have much of an opinion. I do love GNOME on desktop though, and I love how the apps scale.
