What do you all use? And can you use your phone as a daily driver? (lemmings.world)

I'm using Sailfish OS and due to the Android compatibility layer I can use it as my daily driver (with only occasional needs for my spare Android phone), but I was wondering if there's something better in that regard?

I use PinePhone Pro with Plasma Mobile on ArchLinux from Danct. I use Waydroid for to run banking apps that runs only on Android.

I would say that camera works bad because it currently missing algorithms. And battery life is also bad unless you use the Pine keyboard that extends the battery. Sometimes interface is buggy and some apps doesn't scale well on mobile.
