Plainly put, none of the OSes do the basic features of a phone. Ubuntu Ports is the closest to being daily driver ready, and it cannot do MMS[0] (so group texts and picture texts are out). I cannot comment on the state of other OSes.
Even with that, most of them do not have a lot of basic features of what a vanilla smartphone would have either.
That isn't to say it will stay that way. I try out a few of the OSes about once a month or so, and the difference from when I first got it to now is astounding. I think (hope) that by the end of the year that I can use a Pinephone as my daily driver.
