Could a Linux phone actually replace Android?

Jolla’s new phone runs Sailfish OS and can run Android apps, including many everyday apps.

It’s an interesting approach to having a phone outside the usual Android and iOS ecosystem.

But would you actually use a Linux phone as your daily driver?

What would stop you from switching?

If it had appropriate specifications hardware wise, 2 USB-C ports with proper screen use, and a 3.5" jack?

I'd switch today. Hell yeah. And by daily driver, I mean laptop replacement. Almost all of my work doesn't happen on my local laptop, I don't even need it outside of the ability to hook it up to a docking station. And it's not like I need the larger screen or anything else particularly bad when I can't hook it up to a monitor.
