Are Linux phones ready? (lemmy.zip)

Starting September 30th, there's going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

At this point, what I'm thinking about is not using my phone as more than a phone+hotspot. Anything I want to run will be on a second device with me, which would be for everything else.

What that second device is.... currently up for debate. I was going to build a clamshell style palmtop, but honestly I just don't have the time. Maybe I'll get a PMOS friendly tablet?

Hmm I wonder if any of the open handhelds have SIM connectivity

Seems like its mostly the android ones... if I could find like a cheap version of the mnt pocket reform, that would be great.
