The immediate alternatives which are available today are 2FA via email or via an authenticator app such as Authy or Google Authenticator. So it's entirely a matter of whatever idiot companies decided to implement 2FA exclusively via SMS, adding support for one or both of those. I'm another person who hates having to do 2FA via phone all the time, I am overseas a lot and it can pose serious problems for account access. I found out today that Authy even has a Linux client - hopefully this is the beginning of my life getting a lot easier.
