GNU/Linux phones already exist, see Librem 5 and Pinephone.

I have one and the hardware is so slow and the software ecosystem is still so incomplete... I understand still holding out for a 'good' Linux phone despite those things.
I'm using Librem 5 as a daily driver. Yes, it's behind Android or iOS, but it feels very empowering to not rely on the overlords.
I hear you, and that's why I bought a Librem 5 as well. Since it finally arrived like five (plus?) years later, I haven't yet spent enough time to settle in with it. But I hate my Android phone, and would like to eventually.
Still, I wish we could get better hardware and the software support definitely still has growing to do. And I understand those who feel like it's not a viable option for them yet, but do want to switch in the future— because that's kinda where I'm still at myself, even though I have one of those devices.
