Are you using PMOS? Have you checked SailfishOS? It sounds like it would be quite a lot more polished and more usable

    I'm running on postmarketOS, SailfishOS includes significant proprietary components, besides firmware. Like the user-interface. My Android daily driver is already running strict FOSS-only ROM and apps (with an exception in firmware), there's no reason for me to switch to sometbing proprietary.

    That is definitely choice. In my mind SailfishOS is open enough as most of it is open. But of course it is good to have options. For me carrying two phones would be no-go, which leads me to be mostly interested as polished options that can meet my app needs --> don't know other Linux option (currently) in this case than SFOS
