Anyone actively using a Linux OS phone as a daily driver? My current Android is getting crusty and old, and I'm looking into getting a phone later this year. If you currently use one, how is it with normal daily activities? Web Browser? Music players? Map/GPS? From what I've read, web sites have said it's not ready for general useage, but I'm curious to know just how behind it is. Especially given that big OS's like Manjaro offer images that can be used.

Well I've used lineage without gapps for a long time, awesome rom, I see you mention manjaro etc, I can't speak to that, I've also considered using Linux(android is a Linux variant), I will say that lineage I found to be excellent, battery life awesome and really there was nothing for me to complain about, rock solid. As different Linux versions become better I will definitely flash and use them on my phone(s)

How is it with QOL apps? I'm not a huge mobile gamer or anything, but I'd like a web browser with built in ad blocking, and some form of music player (Preferably with Pandora access).

I don't use either type of things sorry, my music is all owned and I have a large library on my phone that I've converted from cd. I think there was a version of brave that worked with it without too much messing about.
