Is the Furi Phone actually good? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I've heard good things about it but I'm wary of the price tag.

Also, does anyone know if it can run the Lyft Driver app?

I run /e/OS, so I don't completely know about proper Linux as a daily driver on it. Last time I used Ubuntu Touch was before Waydroid (and not on a Fairphone), but back then I found that I was dependent on some Android apps that could not be replaced (WhatsApp & banking).

I guess at least it's not so much work to switch between proper Linux and something like /e/ until you find that Linux is ready for a daily driver. If you're ready to put some time into it at least. :)
