@Dariusmiles2123 For what it's worth, I am and I'd say it's mostly suitable for daily driving. There are a few minor issues to be ironed out here and there, but I've been between #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch for 2 years now.

Thanks for the answer.

I guess I have to learn more about these alternative OS but I’d be really interested to get into these if my employer forces me to have a private phone on top of the iPhone I have to use for work.

I’ll be looking at long term reviews soon to learn more.

Out of curiosity, how is it wrt messaging apps? From what I remember, the only good one used to be TELEports (for Telegram), but if you wanted to use Signal or such you were pretty much out of luck. Has the situation changed?

@H4rdStyl3z I don't tend to use messaging apps so I'm not too sure of the situation there. For Signal specifically, I did find an app called Axolotl2 which has a couple of reviews indicating that it works.

One of the problems with both Signal and Telegram on Ubuntu Touch is they don't let you sign up new accounts, only use existing ones.

If all else fails, I have heard that Waydroid works for running Android applications, but I don't use it either.
