Jolla reached a huge amount of preorders for their new phone. Regarding Linux phones, this looks the most promising and could be a chance.
Android forks do not challenge the issue with big tech, enough.
The best option on this list that actually runs Linux looks to be the flx1s, which is only $500 and pretty loaded spec-wise. Shout out to @schwim@piefed.zip for actually clicking all the links.
If that's a requirement, I think the Flx1 (no s) has one. You're lucky to find any phone without a headphone jack now, but they do have an option. Still, I'd trade no headphone jack for a Linux phone if that were required.
one of the biggest problems is the gatekeeping role that Google plays with AOSP. No patches that the company dislikes get into AOSP, regardless of what a wider community might think of them.
I’ve given up Android some years ago. Had a brief time with a BlackBerry and am now enjoying the comforts of the Apple ecosystem. But I’m contemplating going the dumb phone + Palm Pilot (or Psion) route. That being said, that FLX1s seems very interesting…
Look no further my friend because the team @Deftworks is developing a Rotary Mobile™ as we speak. Feature rich all inclusive lightweight mobile products.

For an EU-based Linux pick, Jolla seems like a very interesting option on the horizon: https://jolla.com/

Didn't these guys already file for bankruptcy 2 years ago? They already tried and tried again but there's just not enough market for it.

Do you have any alternatives that are better?

You do realise that GrapheneOS is based on AOSP which is still mostly under control of Google?

How is Chinese-American Motorola hardware better than American Google hardware for running GrapheneOS? Seems like it could have double backdoors.

You say no and then mention you’re waiting for an alternative that’s coming so yes then?
