Is the Pinephone good for me?
#3
for your case pinephone might be for you with catches.

cons:
poor battery life, although keyboard case helps).
lot of bugs.
it is not android, most android apps do not work. and android virtualization is heavy anyway.

pros:
it is not android, android have limited environment.
it is linux (distribution) based (actually). (i call android as fake linux).

i still have de-googled android, termux (or other console) could be installed on android but termux operates inside android app environment, therefore limitations. even if you use android su, android's core environment is limited but different ways. android is designed in a way that apps are developed outside of android devices.
