Name one, just one, other current phone with almost complete Linux support.
I'm not really holding my breath though.

Oneplus 6, although that is aging

Vollaphone ships multiple phones with Ubuntu Touch, is currently being produced and sold.

The problem is app support more than core OS functionality however.

Yeah, that's why Jolla provides an interesting middle ground.
It's Linux, but not FOSS, yet increases usability by being able to run Android apps.
