      Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.

      Main drawbacks right now:

      • I have one health-related (open source) app that I NEED to work flawlessly
      • Navigating the various UIs seems incredibly awkward and inconsistent

        Have you checked SailfishOS? Their Android-bridge is pretty decent, it might work well. If you tell me the app name, I can check whether it works or not.

      Motorola is pretty solid from a bootloader unlock perspective. It is dead simple and some devices support relocking with custom keys.
