Fairphone 6?

Linux phone OSes mostly run through hardware abstraction? That's new info to me.

Obviously. Although a unicorn would be fine as well. Still more realistic than a perfect Linux phone.

Sad to read this from an actually good usable Linux phone... (JollaPhone)

If I recall, that one still required some closed source binary blobs to work. Other than that, the UX is probably as good as it’s going to get. The other half of the problem is the world that decided to get addicted to Android and iOS. Anything that isn’t either of the two is going to have a hard time in a world like this.
