I have a Linux phone because I'm really just tired of fighting against OS vendors to do basic shit like file management or text editing or scheduling background processes or running chat clients or compiling apps (god forbid compiling the OS or running a self hosting dev environment on the device) or pretty much anything other drooling while scrolling through <insert favorite drug>. I honestly don't mind when something is legitimately broken, especially when I have the tools to work around it. For the first few months the dialing app didn't work, fine, I just wrote some shell scripts to poke AT commands into the modem myself. The thing that makes Linux phones much nicer is the much weaker distinction between users and developers. If something is broken then you can just go fix it (or rip it out or hack around it.) I strongly dislike palm OS style UIs so I switched my phosh session file out for flux box. Many people won't like that and I don't have to care.
