In the case of "Linux on a phone" I think it makes more sense to take advantage of all the work Google has put into Android and just throw out the tracking and Google apps, like various projects are doing.

If that's your ideal then just LineageOS. For those that want a Linux distro first and only want the Android apps part of Android, wait for Anbox support on these mobile Linux distros.
