In simple English, is this the early days of “Linux phone?”
yes. Linux phone is mature with ubuntu touch (https://ubports.com/), even for calls. But, the difference to postmarketos is that ubuntu touch uses old linux kernel versions which are difficult to upgrade. postmarketos uses the newest kernel and develops drivers that go in the newest kernel. -> so postmarketos is future proof.
I run UT with Waydroid on my pixel 3a xl. For a 2019 phone it's pretty good. Does what i need a phone to do, make/receive calls, wifi web surf. If it wasn't for UT, i wouldn't own a smart phone.
Do you use any maps app? Which one? How do you manage banking?
I don't use a map or bank app, those activities i do on my PC. If you want to use Android apps i recommend Waydroid.
Which Android apps do you use ? do they consume more battery than native ones ?
