Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

It is interesting to me that at this point, because of Waydroid, the primary things keeping me from using a Linux phone are the same things keeping me from de-googling more of my current phone. When running LineageOS in the past, I couldn't reliably use RCS. Plenty of apps have issues with google's Play Integrity shenanigans.

Once I hit a point where Im ok with running a degoogled android, I'm basically ready for just going straight to Linux on phone.

    Waydroid

    I wouldn't recommend using Waydroid, it basically runs Google Play services and other stuff as root on your machine.

    Instead, it would be nice if we had seamless integration of virtual VMs including Android like Qubes OS does this.
