- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

What you are trying to say is you are very open to be a late adopter of mobile Linux phones, adopting a Linux phone when it actually works.
Early adopters are those who tough out the crap. The issue with Linux phones is they've been stuck in early adopter land for the last 20 years.
I'm up for installing Linux on my last phone when it's added to the list of devices that have official/unofficial support. I'm not going to install anything until WiFi and mobile data is supported tbh.
I tried installing Ubuntu touch for fun a couple of years ago but it didn't boot. I just want to get to a point where I can install the OS and send bug reports.
I get what you are saying, but unless you buy a specific linux phone with some semblance of professional support (e.g. Pinephone) this won't really get better. The best time to buy a Linux phone was a bit over 10 years ago when Canonical still actually supported Ubuntu Touch. That was pretty much the last time there was any serious effort in that regard. Since then it's just been hobbyists doing hobby things in hobby quality.
