Daily driving a Linux phone, but why?

Anyone tried Linux phones for daily use? Not those Android ones, but real Linux. Just wondering how it works in real life compared to Android/iOS?

Sailfish OS works fine. :)

PostmarketOS on a Liberty Phone (upgraded Librem 5) works fine, and just gets better with each major update which is twice a year!

I've been reading Hackernews in the morning and call/texting on my Pinephone for a few years now. The polish(and many times functonality) level is far less than Android/iOS. Depending on what you need/want will dictate if you could use it. For example all the Android/iOS only stuff I just ignore. And I haven't yet gotten GPS + maps to work though it seams like quite a bit of that is in place. If you have specific questions I'd be happy to have a go at answering them.
