I use a Librem 5 as my daily driver without carrying a second phone around.

The battery thing is not an issue for me in practice. I carry a spare battery (they're swappable), but I never actually need it because there's USB-C chargers everywhere I go, and I made it a habit to plug it in whenever I can.

Look, no offense but it sounds like the battery thing is an issue for you in practice, as evidenced by the fact that you carry a spare battery and plug it into a charger multiple times per day.

A phone should adapt to your lifestyle. You should not have to adapt your lifestyle to your phone.

Linux phones can't benefit from 10 years of software optimizations for the battery life, so yes. However it's good enough for non-heavy usage already.
