Aaaaaaany day now… guys…?
(I have a pinephone and no, it is absolutely nowhere near ready)

My guess is that any good Linux phone experience would need greater funding from some company or foundation…(Valve please?)

That’s kind of a double edged sword though. Android got a foothold because a small scrappy unknown company in silicon valley brought them into the fold…

It’s not if it’s done right, android is problematic because it’s not a community project, it’s just a code dump.

The Pinephone used way underpowered hardware when it came out.
Regardless, there’s been a lot of progress from postmarketOS and others the past years and especially accelerated once again with the original announcement to kill installing apps outside of the PlayStore.
I’ve also gone ahead and put in a reservation for the new Jolla phone to support another alternative.
