As much as I love Linux I'll be the first to admit that it probably won't catch on with average users for a long time. Most people really don't want to have to troubleshoot anything and just want something that works out of the box, and Linux isn't really able to deliver that consistently.
I'm curious to try a Linux phone myself, but being in Canada importing new hardware is expensive and the other phone models that are compatible are ancient, and often without VoLTE support which is gonna be mandatory pretty soon here
