The last straw for me was when they wouldn't let me write access /Android/data or /Android/obb on my own device to sync a save files & assets across 2 Android 11+ devices.
I've had daily driven a Librem 5, but you need the microSD as your mounted home folder to make it useable, and I still carry an Android for some key apps. Just waiting for a better specification phone like the Liberux Nexx, Librem 5v2 or full support on a fair phone to switch over to a modern 5G GNU/Linux phone with better cameras, more storage. Bluetooth access simultaneously on Waydroid and Linux host remains a major issue.
If you're looking to dip your feet, a regular tablet is a good choice, or a gaming tablet like the upcoming Legion Go 2 with KDE Plasma Mobile installed, Waydroid + Aurora to bridge the gap.
