Same lol, maybe a Linux phone one day so I don't have to buy another Google phone but unless it runs all the same apps it's unlikely

The only app I need to work on a linux phone is google maps. Although I haven't checked how good openstreet map is now. Everything else has a linux alternative

I use public transport a lot and google maps is very helpful so unfortunately can't live without it, last time I tried openstreet map it was useless for buses etc. As for alternative apps, I'm assuming I'd have trouble with, for example, banking apps, or obscure/niche apps such as my country's one for booking public transport etc.? Just nice using something that can install all Android apps OOTB

Try SailfishOS! Currently replying to you using it.

Sailfish OS does look interesting to be fair, I'll for sure check it out when I need to get a new phone (hopefully not for a long time lol)
